Sant Joan Despí was known in Roman times as Vico Miziano. The passage of the Camí Reial during the 18th century favored the development of the town. Although in its territory there are lands that are dedicated to the cultivation of vegetables and fruits, its main economic activity is industry. Strolling through its streets you will see local shops where you will find lots of fresh produce from the Llobregat delta. You can take advantage of your stay to visit nearby towns such as Sant Feliu de Llobregat or Sant Just Desvern.
