La Manual Alpargatera
La Manual Alpargatera is an espadrille maker on Carrer d'Avinyo in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, founded in 1941 and still making rope-soled footwear on the premises.
Why it matters
Included because the workshop is behind the counter: espadrilles are still assembled in the shop, which makes it one of the last places in the centre where a traditional trade is visible rather than described.
