La Manual Alpargatera - Barcelona

The espadrille belongs to the DNA of Catalonia. Since 1943 La Manual Alpargatera is the most known manufacturer of espadrilles in Barcelona.
Catalonia has always cultivated hemp to make ropes, fabrics and espadrilles! One finds for example written references of its name as in Catalan “espardenya” as soons as 1322.
A long story which finishes well as it returns finally to be in vogue while becoming synonymous of Catalan nationalism (it belongs to the traditional costume), of ecology (return to nature), of fashion (with increasingly more connoisseurs) and of spring: one buys espadrille as of the first sun rays.
In the Gothic district, not far from the Ramblas, you will find also your sun ray in this extraordinary shop.

Barcelona Airport FAQ

K - 16 May 2024 - 09:12

T2 No smoking and no other food shops

Really not happy with this airport. Travel assisstance takes forever to get to you, language barriers and you're not advised of any area restrictions or limitations before during or after security. Security rush you through with"""rapidos"" which honestly made me want to cry with all the attention while struggling with a toddler in pushchair and autistic elder child . To find out then travel assistance don't stay with you, they leave and come back just before boarding if they bother to. Can't smoke or buy any other food other than sandwiches which where spotted with black bits?? Cant smoke after security. the last leg of our holiday and its been shite
