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.

Hello Ercan, The FCB tickets are only sent by email in pdf format 2 to 3 days before the match. The reason is simply that before this date the tickets are not yet printed. We hope you enjoy the match!

How to register a foreign vehicle for ZBE
Citat from the information page "Therefore, all foreign vehicles must be registered before they can drive in the low emission zones. Only vehicles registered in Spain are required to wear the sticker. Foreign vehicles do not require a physical sticker to be affixed to the windscreen. The online "validated" status is sufficient to prove that your vehicle is registered and authorized to circulate in the zone" How to register a foreign vehicle is not given anywhere including in the given link to https://www.amb.cat/s/web/mobilitat/mobilitat-sostenible/zbe.html

@10e
Hello 10e, In a day and a half, you can visit 3 monuments, which is already very good, the best option for you would be the Barcelona City Pass or 3 Houses of Gaudí. Both offer great flexibility and convenience for short visits. You can find all the information you need on this page. Enjoy your time in Barcelona!

@WS8 Passenger
Hello WS8 Passenger, If you're coming to collect a delayed bag from Groundforce at Terminal 1 of Barcelona-El Prat Airport, you'll need to go to their baggage service office, also known as the Lost & Found office. Please go to: The Groundforce office for delayed baggage is located in Terminal 1, near the baggage claim area. Once you enter the arrivals hall, follow signs for "Baggage Claim" and "Lost & Found." It’s advisable to check the operating hours in advance, as they may vary depending on the day. If you have any trouble finding the office, airport staff can help direct you to the right location. Safe travels, and I hope you get your bag back soon!

Hello Jackie, It looks like you're asking if the Aerobus in Barcelona can take you to Malgrat de Mar. Unfortunately, the Aerobus service only connects the Barcelona Airport (El Prat) with the city center of Barcelona, making stops at places like Plaça Catalunya and Plaça Espanya. It doesn't go to Malgrat de Mar, which is a town located along the coast, about 60 kilometers northeast of Barcelona. To get to Malgrat de Mar from Barcelona Airport, here are your options: Train: You can take the Renfe Cercanías (R2 Nord line) from the airport to Barcelona-Sants or Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia, and then transfer to the R1 line, which goes directly to Malgrat de Mar. Bus: There are some intercity buses that can take you there, though they might not be direct from the airport. Taxi or Private Transfer: This is the most convenient option but also the most expensive. You can arrange a taxi or a private transfer service from the airport directly to Malgrat de Mar. For train times and more detailed travel info, the Renfe website is very helpful, or you could use Google Maps to plan your journey. Enjoy your trip!
