Where to stay in Motril
Staying in Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the main market areas and the daily food market. It's a practical base with plenty of cafés and restaurants to fill the gaps between browsing stalls.
If you prefer something closer to the coast, Playa de Motril is just a few kilometres away and has a good selection of hotels. The drive into town is short, and you'll find it a quieter option if you're combining a market visit with some time by the sea.
