Where to stay in Algarrobo
Algarrobo is a small town, so staying central is your best bet for getting to the markets on foot. The Town Centre puts you within easy reach of everything, and the nearby Algarrobo Costa is a good option if you prefer to be closer to the coast with a short drive inland.
Accommodation here tends to be smaller guesthouses and holiday apartments rather than big hotels, so book early, especially in summer when the area fills up fast.
