Barcelona Bike & Espadrille Workshop – Craft, Culture & Local Life 4 hours / 105€ per person / English

In this 2-hour hands-on workshop, you'll become a true artisan. Guided by our masters, you'll choose the sole, laces, and stitching style to bring your own pair of espadrilles to life. At the end of the workshop, you'll take home a pair of shoes made by you—a truly exclusive and unique souvenir of your trip.

No prior experience is needed; we'll provide all the materials. Plus, you'll enjoy an apéritif in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. It's a creative and cultural experience where tradition meets innovation, and where you'll discover the most authentic side of Barcelona through its craftsmanship.

It is a family business that has been creating artisan footwear for three generations, keeping the Spanish tradition of espadrilles alive. Our local artisans combine ancestral techniques with a contemporary touch to offer you an authentic and unique experience in Barcelona.

During the workshop, you'll also discover the origins of espadrilles, their history, and how they have evolved in different regions of Spain.

With the artisan spirit flowing, we'll embark on a bike adventure to feel the city's vibrant pulse, and if you want, with your new shoes on. For two hours, we'll explore some of Barcelona's most fascinating corners, from the Gothic Quarter and El Born with their narrow, history-filled streets, to the more modern areas.

This tour isn't just a ride; it's a journey through the city's history. We'll see how Barcelona has evolved, with each architectural and historical period clearly marked. And so you don't miss a thing, we'll give you the best tips for shopping and going out, all while you enjoy a smooth, fun, and completely up-to-date tour.

We'll continue our adventure toward a more open and expansive area, where the majesty of the Arc de Triomf will welcome us. From there, we'll enter the vibrant Parc de la Ciutadella, a true green lung in the heart of the city. As we explore, you'll immerse yourself in the impressive Catalan Modernist architecture and get a firsthand feel for the local atmosphere, learning about and enjoying the daily life of Barcelona.

Next, we'll head to the coast for a memorable ride along the beach. We'll pedal alongside the Mediterranean Sea, where you can admire the iconic Port Olímpic and the area's vibrant life. You'll have time to take photos and enjoy Barcelona's stunning skyline as the sun shines over the sea in the Mediterranean climate.

On the way back to our starting point, we'll drop off the bikes and pick up the espadrilles you created at the beginning of the workshop. By the end of the tour, you'll have all the information you need to get around Barcelona like a local, along with your own handmade souvenir.
