La Manual Alpargatera

La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


Stars from Salvador Dalí to Penélope Cruz and Jean Paul Gaultier have ordered a pair of espardenyes (espadrilles; rope-soled canvas shoes) from this famous shoe specialist, founded just after the Spanish Civil War. The roots of the simple design date back hundreds of years and originated in the Catalan Pyrenees, though La Manual also incorporates contemporary trends.
