La Manual Alpargatera - Barcelona

The espadrille belongs to the DNA of Catalonia. Since 1943 La Manual Alpargatera is the most known manufacturer of espadrilles in Barcelona.
Catalonia has always cultivated hemp to make ropes, fabrics and espadrilles! One finds for example written references of its name as in Catalan “espardenya” as soons as 1322.
A long story which finishes well as it returns finally to be in vogue while becoming synonymous of Catalan nationalism (it belongs to the traditional costume), of ecology (return to nature), of fashion (with increasingly more connoisseurs) and of spring: one buys espadrille as of the first sun rays.
In the Gothic district, not far from the Ramblas, you will find also your sun ray in this extraordinary shop.

@John
Hello John, Yes, you can board the Aerobus A2 at Plaça Universitat before it reaches Plaça Catalunya to head to the airport. The Aerobus service (line A2) is specifically designed to connect the city center with Barcelona-El Prat Airport (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2) efficiently. At Plaça Universitat, there is a designated Aerobus stop, so you can get on the bus there. Just make sure you are at the correct stop for the A2 line if you're heading to Terminal 2. If you’d like to check the route, schedule, and ticket information, you can visit this same page for Aerobus tickets. Let me know if you need more help planning your trip!

@alan
Hello alan, The closest Aerobús stop to Barcelona’s cruise port is Plaça Espanya. From there: Take the green metro line (L3) toward "Zona Universitària" and get off at Drassanes (two stops). Walk about 15 minutes to the World Trade Center (WTC). At the WTC, you’ll find a shuttle called the Cruise Bus that runs directly to the cruise terminals. The cost is approximately €4.50 round-trip. Best,
