Where to stay in Casares
Casares is a small hilltop village, so accommodation options are limited but charming. Staying in Casares Village Centre puts you close to the local market and within walking distance of the main square. If you prefer more choice, the nearby coast at Manilva is worth considering, with easy access back up to the village.
For a rural feel, a cortijo or small guesthouse on the outskirts works well, especially if you have a car. Check availability at Casares Rural for countryside stays that keep you close without being in the thick of it.
Tours & Activities in Casares
Street markets in Casares
The Casares Street Market runs every Friday in the village centre, with around 25 outdoor stalls selling clothing, footwear, handicrafts, flowers and plants. It is a straightforward weekly market where most vendors accept cash, so bring small notes and coins. If you want to combine trips, Estepona and Manilva both hold larger weekly markets on different days.
The Casares Medieval Market takes place weekly and specialises in handicrafts, giving it a distinct character compared to the general Friday market. Stall numbers are not fixed, but the focus on traditional crafts makes it a good choice if you are specifically looking for artisan goods rather than everyday clothing or produce. More visitor information is available on the Casares municipal website.
