Where to stay in Arcos de la Frontera
Arcos de la Frontera is a small hilltop town, so staying close to the old town puts you within easy reach of El Barato market and everything else worth seeing. Old Town is the obvious base, and Parador de Arcos de la Frontera sits right on the main square with views over the gorge if you want something special.
For a quieter option, Hotel El Convento is a well-regarded small hotel in the historic centre that keeps things simple and central. Either way, the town is compact enough that you can walk to the market without any fuss.
