Avarques.

Did a bit of touristy window shopping today. I love traditional sandals and always look at the new designs each year. These are children's sizes: I hope to get my newest granddaughter some when they visit in July.

The avarca (Catalan pronunciation: [əˈβaɾkə], plural avarques) is a type of sandal popular in the Balearic Islands (Spain), especially Menorca. The shoes are made using a leather upper and a rubber sole. Avarca is a traditional sandal originally developed in Menorca in the Balearic Islands.
