Authentic Barcelona Espadrilles - Handmade Since 1940

La Manual is a must-visit shop for anyone who appreciates true craftsmanship and warm, attentive service. Aurora was incredibly kind — she showed us how to tie the laces and even allowed us to record it. I will definitely come back! Excellent quality and value for money. Thank you!

I bought a pair of golden espadrilles here 10 years ago — they are still my favorite shoes. Beautiful, comfortable, and timeless. I came back again this year.

Got a pair of shoes here and absolutely love them! The service and attention were excellent.

I have been a regular customer at La Manual on Carrer d’Avinyó for years, and I have always been wonderfully attended by the whole team. The service is consistently excellent.

I’ve always bought my espadrilles at this shop — they are simply wonderful. They last a long time and have far more character than any other brand. Special mention to Aurora, the soul of the store. I have never been treated so well. She was incredibly kind and gave me excellent advice. I ended up buying two pairs — without her, I would have taken just one. I’ll definitely be back!

An absolute must-visit. In what other shop do they teach you how to tie your espadrilles? I loved the experience and ended up taking two pairs home. This store has a special kind of magic. Yes, it’s in the city centre and you’ll find tourists around — but that’s part of its charm.

I didn’t end up buying anything, but this shop clearly has a rich heritage and the owners and staff are very attentive — I saw one of them helping a customer put on a pair of espadrille wedges.”

The shop is historic and truly magnificent.
The shoes are fantastic and Aurora is wonderful.
It’s always a pleasure to come back and shop here.
