Fun activity - So much fun. Excellent guidance with just the right amount of help. And the espadrilles are completely wearable! The price of the workshop doesn't include upgrades, which you will very likely want (e.g., cushy soles, higher heels, different base styles).

Morning madness - We had a great time, it was brilliant. My friend and I aren't really into fashion that but this was very enjoyable. The espadrilles were fun to make and are a great present for people at home. The cava, tapas and in store dancing made it even better.

Great People, Great Experience - We were warmly welcomed and spoiled with water, cava and pastries. First of all we were informed about the interesting history of Espandrille, then we chose colors and shape and we went to work. With the help of the teachers it is really easy and to handle for everyone.
I can fully recommend the course, all people are so incredibly nice, the atmosphere is great and it's just a great change from classic sightseeing tours. And you have the best memories of Barcelona on your feet every day :)
