Where to stay in Santa Coloma de Farners
Santa Coloma de Farners is a small spa town, so staying close to the centre puts you within easy walking distance of the markets and the local thermal baths. Try Town Centre for the most convenient base, with cafes and shops right on your doorstep.
If you prefer a quieter setting, the area around Les Termes is a good option, just a short stroll from the action. Either way, the town is compact enough that no stay is ever far from where you need to be.

Street markets in Santa Coloma de Farners
The Herbs of the Ratafía Market is the largest of the three, with 40 stalls offering fresh fruit, vegetables, prepared foods and handicrafts. It takes its name from ratafia, the Catalan walnut liqueur traditionally made with herbs gathered around La Selva, and the market reflects that local identity directly through its produce.
The Bread with Tomato Fair focuses on food, with stalls dedicated to bread and pastries, fresh vegetables and prepared dishes. The name references pa amb tomàquet, the Catalan staple of bread rubbed with ripe tomato, making this the most food-centred of the three markets.
The Jome Market Stalls on Carrer Tossa take a different direction, concentrating on clothing, handicrafts and books. It is a practical weekly option for residents and an interesting browse for visitors looking for something beyond fresh produce. For the latest schedules across all three markets, the Santa Coloma de Farners tourism site publishes current information.
