La Papiola has two weekly markets covering a broad mix of goods, from fresh produce to antiques and handicrafts. Encants La Papiola is the indoor municipal venue, and a larger outdoor street market sets up alongside it. Together the two sites offer around 100 stalls across different product categories, both trading on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Staying in the centre of La Papiola puts you within easy walking distance of the main markets, so Town Centre is your best bet. From there you can explore on foot without needing a car.
If you prefer something a little quieter, look for accommodation just outside the centre in Old Quarter, where you'll still have quick access to market days while enjoying a more relaxed pace.
