We are thrilled to bring to the U.S. the traditional avarcas handmade by S’avam/S'avarca de Menorca S.L. www.savarca.com  We offer you a beautiful selection of handmade leather sandals with recycled rubber soles. Each sandal is handcrafted in Menorca,Spain. These sandals have their origin in the Menorcan country life. Menorca is a small island in the Balearic archipelago where the land is dry and rocky. The design of these strong flexible sandals was based on the people's needs with the island's terrain. The Menorcan peasants found that the avarca was the ideal shoe to wear when working in the fields.  The avarca became a tradition and as time went by, it also became the island’s symbol of identity, perfectly adaptable to modern life.
