BALEARIC ISLANDS

Eivissa (28.09.2009) Until the late 1970s the islet of S’Espartar was the source of the fibre, and where Ibizans went to gather this plant at the end of the summer, to make espardenyes (esparto-soled sandals), ropes, senalles senallons (esparto grass baskets), slings and all kinds of everyday utensils. The Institute of Ibizan Studies has organised an esparto grass workshop to be held on 3rd and 10th October to teach people about this traditional task. The first part of the workshop consists of a boat trip to the islet of S’Espartar, and the second one will be devoted to the manufacture of esparto products and learning the technique for making llata, the plaited base used for working with this product.
