Where to stay in Cútar
Cútar is a small village with very limited accommodation, so your best bet is to stay in nearby Vélez-Málaga, about 20 minutes away, and drive in for the Thursday market. Try Town Centre for easy access to restaurants and a short morning trip to Cútar.
If you'd rather be closer to the Axarquía countryside, Rincón de la Victoria is another practical base with good road connections and plenty of places to eat and sleep.
