Where to stay in Cuevas Bajas
Cuevas Bajas is a small village, so your best bet is to stay in the surrounding area rather than in the village itself. Antequera makes a solid base, with good road links and plenty of options like Parador de Antequera or somewhere central in Antequera city centre.
If you want to stay closer to the Málaga province countryside, Archidona is another nearby option with a quieter, local feel and easy access to the village on market day.
