As self-confessed ‘shoeaholics’, Laura and Nalini delight in exploring one of the fashion industry’s best-kept secrets: Spain’s “shoe triangle” — the Valencian towns of Elda, Crevillente, and Elche where master craftspeople continue to create luxury footwear for the world’s top brands – a tradition that has evolved over generations and traces its roots back centuries.
The ladies recount their recent visit to Elda’s remarkable Museo del Calzado (Footwear Museum), where they inspected celebrity shoes and rare historical collections, and gained insights into the historical significance of the industry.
Meanwhile, in the Slice of Life segment, the pair enjoy handpicked wine and locally sourced dates. Plus, in tribute to Elda’s excellent Italian restaurant (Ché Ragazzi), burrato cheese. As always, Laura keeps Nalini on her toes with an entertaining ‘Spanish Phrase of the Day’, which is also footwear-themed.
