About this tour
A one-hour workshop in downtown Seville where you'll design and construct a traditional tocado sevillano—the ornamental floral headdress worn during Feria and increasingly popular in contemporary fashion. Working alongside artisans in their studio on Calle Sierpes, you'll select flowers, colours and size, then assemble your piece by hand while enjoying cava and snacks. You leave with your finished creation and the practical knowledge of how this Andalusian accessory is made.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the workshop studio in downtown Seville, where finished tocados and materials are on display. The session opens with an introduction to the history of these floral headdresses and an overview of the construction process and materials you'll use. An artisan then walks you through selecting your flowers, colour palette and dimensions—there's no single 'correct' choice, so this is where your piece becomes personal. You'll then build your tocado by hand with hands-on guidance from the artisan, cava and snacks provided throughout. Once complete, you'll have your finished piece ready to wear or display.
