Where to stay in Cuevas del Almanzora
Staying in Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the street market and the castle. It's a small town, so being central really does make a difference.
For something a little further out, the coastal area of Villaricos is worth considering if you want a beach base and don't mind a short drive into town on market day. Pick up what you need at the market and head back to enjoy it by the sea.
