Where to stay in Pilas
Pilas is a small town, so accommodation options are limited locally. Staying in Town Centre keeps you close to the weekly market and everything else on foot. For more choice, the nearby city of Seville is an easy drive away and well worth considering as a base.
If you do prefer to stay closer, check what's available through smaller guesthouses and rural stays in the area around Pilas, which can be a peaceful alternative to the city. Just keep in mind that you'll want a car if you're coming from further afield.
