The Traders’ Association consists of more than one hundred quality establishments and services in the city, some of which have been around for over one hundred years. The city’s traders’ hub has become a large open air shopping space; quality purchases based on convenience and a friendly service, without excluding more innovative proposals.
Olot has been included in the community of cities recommended by the Catalan Government for its crafts. The work of its local artisans has been crucial in revitalising the commerce of the old town. Olot’s artisan culture is yet another way that this unique city will draw you back again and again.
The city’s most traditional trades are now also bolstered by a group of artisans that promote new forms of crafts. The Taller de Sastres (The Les Sastres Street workshops) project has given a new lease of life to deserted premises, which now boast everything from upholsterers and antique furniture restorers to tailors and espadrille-makers.
The old town has become a space which is striving to bring its old traditions back to life, and this is made possible thanks to the Iera association, a group formed of 35 local artisans that contribute with their own products (jewellery, fabric crafts, pottery, furniture, body oils, honey, sweets, prints, candles, turróns, baskets, necessaires, backpacks, mushroom extracts and macrame to name just a few) - to make the commitment to local production a reality. More sustainable, more economical, more authentic. Just one other way in which Olot is a pioneer.
