    Remember that this classic version of the workshop includes the flat traditional base.

What you can expect

San Juan's #1 Espadrilles Experience!

Explore the history of the traditional Espadrilles, stitch your own pair and take it home as the most amazing souvenir. Perfect for anyone aged 5-99+.

We will meet at our workshop filled with materials, tools and finished products. This is where you will become an insider on the history of this humble people's shoe that evolved into a major fashion trend.

You will find out the deepest secrets of this wonderful tradition. Together with master artisans you will craft your own pair of Espadrilles. Handpicking out of 100k+ different combinations, you will chose the size of the base, the stitching style and the color and type of the laces. Once done, you will learn the different ways to lace them up!

At the end, when stepping into your own creation of Espadrilles, you will feel like a true artisan. You'll get a wearable memory of San Juan (one that it is hardly available to visitors) and a really cool story to tell. Are you ready?
