Where to stay in Chiclana de la Frontera
Staying in Town Centre puts you within easy reach of the MelkArt fair and the cafés and tapas bars you'll want before and after. The Hotel Convento Spa is a solid choice, set in a converted convent with plenty of character and a good central location.
If you prefer to be near the coast, La Barrosa is just a short drive away and gives you the beach alongside your market trip. Prices are reasonable across the board, so it's worth booking early if you're visiting during a busy fair weekend.
