    • In the heart of the Basque Country, DONQUICHOSSE perpetuates ancestral know-how by crafting 100% handmade espadrilles. In our workshop, each pair is handcrafted with fine materials: quality cotton canvas, natural jute soles, and a unique expertise passed down from generation to generation.

      But DONQUICHOSSE is much more than just a workshop: it's also a place for discovery and sharing. We open our doors to visitors curious to immerse themselves in the authentic world of the Basque espadrille.

      During our workshop visits, you can observe our artisans at work, understand the different stages of production, and appreciate the meticulous handcrafting that gives birth to each espadrille. It's an immersion into the heart of an exceptional craft, where tradition and innovation meet.

      At the end of your visit, be sure to stop by our workshop boutique, where you'll find the perfect espadrille for you! Whether you're looking for a classic, colorful, or updated style with a contemporary touch, our wide selection will satisfy all your desires. Enjoy personalized advice and leave with a unique pair, made right before your eyes.


      For guided group tours, booking is recommended, and for individuals, self-guided tours of the workshop are available.

    A wonderful experience. The staff was very attentive and took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the production process, both in French and in Spanish, as we were with Spanish friends. I highly recommend this very informative tour!

    The welcome is always pleasant, warm, and very professional. We always enjoy picking up our espadrilles. The products are handmade and artisanal, which is so rare! The colors are magnificent and the espadrilles are very well cut. They last a long time.
