Where to stay in La Oliva
La Oliva is a small, quiet town, so most visitors stay along the coast and drive in for the market. Corralejo is the most convenient base, with plenty of hotels, restaurants, and easy access to the north of the island.
If you prefer something closer to the action, look for rural accommodation in or around La Oliva Village itself. It's peaceful and puts you right on the doorstep of the Traditions Market.
