Where to stay in Sant Joan Despí
Sant Joan Despí is a small residential town just outside Barcelona, so staying in the town centre puts you close to the weekly market without any fuss. Try Town Centre for easy access on foot, or look at options along the main avenues near the L5 metro line if you want a quick route into the city too.
If you'd prefer more choice, staying just across the border in nearby Hospitalet de Llobregat gives you more hotels at good prices, with the market still a short ride away. Gran Via L'Hospitalet is a practical base with solid transport links that work well for a day trip to Sant Joan Despí.
