Markets in Olot
Girona, Catalonia
The mercat d'Olot tradition runs through three distinct markets across the year, from a compact weekly food market to a large Christmas fair with 80 outdoor stalls. All three are street markets, meaning Olot has no permanent indoor municipal hall, so timing your visit around the schedules below is essential.

Where to stay in Olot
Olot is a compact city, so staying in or close to the Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the main markets and the old quarter. The Eixample is another solid base, with good transport links and a quieter feel.
If you prefer a specific hotel, Hotel Les Cols Pavellons is a well-regarded option just outside the centre, ideal if you want something a little more special after a day exploring the markets.
Tours & Activities in Olot
Street markets in Olot
The Olot Weekly Market runs every Monday with 25 stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy. It operates indoors, making it a reliable option in any weather and a practical stop for self-catering visitors staying in Girona province.
The Toy Market takes place on the first Sunday of October, also with 25 stalls, and focuses on handicrafts, books, and clothing. It is the most family-oriented of Olot's three markets and draws shoppers from across La Garrotxa for its seasonal character.
The Olot Christmas Market is the largest of the three, with 80 outdoor stalls offering handicrafts, jewellery, organic produce, prepared foods, and bread and pastries. As the only market in Olot with certified organic products, it is worth planning a visit around if you are in the area during the Christmas season. For more seasonal and weekly markets nearby, Banyoles and Figueres are both within easy reach of Olot.
