Connect with the destination during your stay at Villa Le Blanc Gran Meliá, Menorca - Santo Tomás, Spain
Traditional footwear of the farmers, the abarca is today one of the most recognisable symbols of Menorca. With the help of MIBO, the workshop that makes the hotel team's footwear, we invite you to discover its origin and create a unique piece in this experience from the “El arte del buen vivir” collection at Villa Le Blanc Gran Meliá.

For generations, the abarca has travelled the paths of Menorca. Born in the countryside as the simple footwear of the farmers, today it is one of the most appreciated crafts on the island, handmade in workshops where the trade is passed down from masters to apprentices. Just five minutes from Villa Le Blanc Gran Meliá, in Es Migjorn Gran, MIBO opens the doors of its factory to show this know-how up close, in an experience designed for those who value the authentic and the handmade.

The visit begins at the MIBO factory, among shelves full of coloured leathers and soles ready to take shape. In the company of the workshop team, come and discover every stage of the production: from the cutting of the pieces to the stitching and the final assembly that gives the abarca its unmistakable silhouette.
Afterwards, take part alongside the artisans in a part of the process, choosing the materials, the colours and the sole of your own pair, a personalised abarca created just for you.
Each creation reflects the island's artisanal know-how, passed down over time and reinterpreted with contemporary sensitivity. A unique testimony to the Menorcan identity that transcends the trip and endures as an exclusive and meaningful souvenir.
An experience that unites tradition, design and local culture, and which allows you to take with you a piece of Menorca and the memory of the hands that made it.
