Where to stay in Velez-Malaga
Benajarafe is a small coastal village, so staying nearby in Town Centre gives you the best base, with the market just a short drive along the coast road. For something right on the water, look at options along Torre del Mar, which puts you within easy reach of the Saturday market and the beach.
If you prefer a bit more comfort and choice, Hotel Palacio Blanco is a solid pick in the historic centre of Velez-Malaga, around 10 minutes from Benajarafe by car. You can visit the market in the morning and spend the rest of the day exploring the town at your own pace.
