Where to stay in Casares
Casares is a small hilltop village, so your best bet is to stay right in the Village Centre where you can walk to the market easily and soak up the atmosphere after the stalls close. Options are limited but charming, and a rural guesthouse or casa rural suits the setting well.
If you'd prefer more choice, the nearby coast at Manilva or Estepona is just a short drive away and offers plenty of hotels to suit most budgets. Estepona works well as a base if you want beaches and restaurants alongside your market visit.
