About this tour
A 2-hour workshop in Seville where you'll hand-stitch an authentic pair of espadrilles under guidance from master artisans, then take home your finished shoes.

What to expect
You'll meet at a materials-filled workshop in Seville where the session kicks off with an introduction to espadrille history and the techniques you're about to learn. Then you'll sit down with a master artisan who'll show you how to hand-stitch your chosen base. You'll decide on your lace colour and type, learn different ways to lace them up, and complete the stitching under guidance. The workshop wraps up with cava and snacks as you admire your finished shoes.
The whole process takes about 2 hours. You'll leave with a completed, wearable pair of espadrilles—not a half-finished craft project—that you can wear straight away or take home as a keepsake. This isn't a rushed assembly line; it's hands-on skill transfer at a pace that lets you actually learn the craft.
