Forty years as a Spaniard and I just learnt now tourists come here to buy espadrilles, which is even a word I just learnt from this map.

39 myself and this is the first time I've heard the term espadrilles, for me allways had been "zapatillas de estar por casa". The more I know!

They mean this type of traditional outdoor shoe. Espardenya is more of a Catalan thing, and popular as a souvenir. Though calling it "most popular" might be a stretch.
