The town is the capital of the Catalan comarca "Pla de l'Estany". Although an established industrial centre many of the inhabitants commute to the nearby city of Girona (12 km to the south).

Banyoles was connected to Girona by the 750 mm (2 ft 5+1⁄2 in) gauge Palamós–Girona–Banyoles railway, which reached it by 1928. Service on the line continued until 1956.

  • Spring

    Fields in bloom and good walking temperatures.

  • Summer

    Hot at midday; festivals tend to cluster in these months.

  • Autumn

    Golden light, mushroom season and fewer visitors.

  • Winter

    Cold and short days. Life gathers in the bar and the square.
