Peratallada is one of the best-preserved medieval villages in the Baix Empordà, and its period fair uses that setting without having to dress it up: the streets and squares of the old town are the venue itself. It is held on the first weekend of October.

The village's history is documented from the 10th century, when it appears as "Petra Scissa" and "Petra cortada". The castle around which the population sheltered was the centre of the barony of the Peratallada line, documented from the 11th century, and it still structures the village today.

The dates of the next edition appear above, under "Upcoming dates".
