Where to stay in Sant Joan de les Abadesses

Street markets in Sant Joan de les Abadesses
The Sant Joan de les Abadesses Weekly Market runs every week with around 25 stalls selling fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, and bread and pastries. It operates indoors, so the weather is never a concern, and it covers the core everyday shopping needs of the town and its visitors.
The Sant Joan de les Abadesses Second-Hand Market Fair is a considerably larger outdoor event with up to 200 stalls. Dealers and private sellers bring antiques, books, jewellery, and footwear, making it one of the more substantial second-hand markets in the Ripollès comarca. It runs weekly, so it is easy to plan around a visit to the town's Romanesque monastery on the same trip.
For more market options in the area, Camprodon holds a well-regarded weekly market, and Ripoll is a short drive away with its own regular market days. The official tourism site for the comarca, valldecamprodon.org, lists local events that sometimes coincide with market days.
