Where to stay in Alfarnate
Alfarnate is a tiny village, so accommodation options are limited right in the centre. Staying in Town Centre keeps you close to the medieval market action, but you might also find more choice by looking at nearby rural hotels and cortijos in the surrounding countryside, such as Comarca de la Axarquía.
If you prefer a larger base with easy day-trip access, the resort town of Málaga or Antequera both offer plenty of hotels and good road connections into the village for market day.
