Authentic Espadrilles Workshop in Barcelona

Learn about the history of the traditional Catalan espadrilles, stitch your own pair and take it home as an amazing souvenir. You can choose between a shared experience (Standard option), including a glass of cava and snacks, or a private experience (Premium option) with an unlimited flow of cava, gourmet tapas, and access to high-quality materials.

The experience will take place in a workshop filled with materials, tools and finished products. Here, you can learn about the history of this humble traditional shoe that has evolved into a major fashion trend. Guided by master artisans, you'll craft your own pair of espadrilles from over 100 thousand different combinations. You'll select the size of the base, the stitching style, the colour, and the type of laces. Once completed, you'll learn various ways to lace them up.

Once you wear your handcrafted espadrilles, you'll feel like a true artisan. This authentic experience is rarely available to visitors. It's not just a souvenir of Barcelona, but also an original tale to share about your journey into the heart of Catalan tradition.
