Enjoy an unforgettable day in Casarabonela, one of the famous white villages nestled in the mountains of Malaga.
Surrounded by fruit trees and crystal-clear streams, you will discover the noble art of esparto weaving from
authentic master craftsmen.
This rural experience combines learning and local cuisine in a privileged natural setting.
A day to reconnect with your roots, your hands in the earth and your soul at peace.
Paca and Baltasar, a couple of artisans with decades of professional experience, are guardians of an ancestral craft passed down from generation to generation.
The master craftsman is also a renowned flamenco singer, fusing two Andalusian cultural expressions in one soul.
Esparto is a plant fibre that has been an essential raw material in rural Andalusian life for centuries. From baskets to espadrilles, this noble material has been used to create beautiful and functional everyday objects.
In our workshop, you will learn about traditional weaving and braiding techniques, working with your own hands under the expert guidance of those who have dedicated their lives to preserving this craft heritage.
The day ends with an authentic rustic-style paella, slowly cooked over a wood fire in an iron paella pan.
Made with fresh ingredients from the local garden and prepared using traditional techniques, each bite is a tribute to Mediterranean cuisine.
This rural day in Casarabonela is much more than a workshop: it is an immersion into the soul of Andalusia, where ancient crafts, traditional flavours and flamenco singing weave a tapestry of authentic experiences.
Share a day full of learning, beauty and moments that will remain etched in your heart.
Welcome to living tradition!
