The monastery of Sant Joan de les Abadesses was built in the 9th century by order of Wilfredo el Velloso and intended for his daughter Emma (while the Ripoll monastery was intended for his son Radulfo). In this way, Emma became the first abbess of the monastery, which in turn became the first female monastery in Catalonia.

Town halfway between Ripoll and Camprodon, with a detour to Ogassa or Coll de Santigosa (Olot). There you will find a hostel, good restaurants, shops,... a good place to plan a technical stop or spend the night.

The Monastery of Sant Joan de les Abadesses was run by abbesses over four generations before they were replaced by the pope because they were too competitive for him.
