Markets in Sant Joan les Fonts
Girona, Catalonia · 3 markets tracked

The biggest draw by stall count is the Sant Joan les Fonts Wine and Cheese Market, which runs outdoors with 20 stalls dedicated to cheese and dairy.

Where to stay in Sant Joan les Fonts
Sant Joan les Fonts is a small village, so your best bet is to stay in the town centre where you'll be close to the market action and the volcanic landscape of La Garrotxa. The nearby town of Olot is also a practical base, with more accommodation options and easy access by road.
If you want something with more character, look for a rural casa de pagès in the surrounding area, as the Garrotxa countryside has several farmhouse stays that put you in a beautiful setting without adding much travel time.
