Local and typical Spanish activity to do! - Alejandra, our host welcomed my sister, an English-speaking tourist and myself with her joie de vivre and good humor! She began by telling us about the origin of espadrilles, whose real name is “espardeñas”, as well as the different styles of espadrilles. For the workshop, we made the “Pamplona” style, according to Alejandra it was not the easiest, but the most adaptable for beginners that we are. And I confirm, it was not obvious! There is a certain technique to master, a bit like the hook, but as soon as we have picked up the trick, it goes by itself. In 2 hours, we had finished our pairs of shoes, to the applause of all the shop! A good festive Mood and after the effort, comfort: we were treated to a small glass of cava offered. It was a great experience! I highly recommend to everyone visiting Seville to do this workshop. You will learn more about Spanish culture and you will leave with a very nice souvenir: a pair of sneakers made by you.

Wonderful immersive hour weaving espadrilles in Sevilla - This espadrille making class was the perfect way to experience the culture of Sevilla and make a beautiful piece of art. The artisans at this store teach about the origins of this simple footwear and its varied forms across Spain. Then they guide you on each step of placing the ribbons. Our instructor was knowledgeable and so personable. Each of the artisans we met were really welcoming and we enjoyed every minute of our hour long class. My espadrilles are gorgeous. It was a truly enjoyable experience I will always remember with a warm heart. Thank you to our young lady Jos who made our last day in Sevilla so lovely. I highly recommend this store and class.

Espadrille making class - This was not really an experience for my husband. He would not wear ribbons in his shoes. We thought we would be doing more of the actual making of our shoes. It really is a decorating class. That should be stated in the information online. Our hosts for the class we great. They made it a lot of fun.
