Where to stay in Belmez
Belmez is a small town, so your best bet is to stay close to the centre, where you'll be within easy walking distance of the market and the famous castle. Try Town Centre for the most convenient base, or look at options in Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo, the larger nearby town with more accommodation to choose from.
If you'd prefer a bit more comfort or variety, the surrounding area of the Guadiato Valley has some rural guesthouses worth checking out. Staying locally means you can explore the market at a relaxed pace and still have time to take in the views from the castle hill.
