Where to stay in El Barco de Avila
El Barco de Ávila is a small town, so staying in or near the town centre puts you within easy walking distance of the weekly market and the medieval streets around it. Options are limited but perfectly comfortable for a night or two.
If you want something with a bit more character, look for rural guesthouses or casas rurales just outside town, which are common in this part of the Sierra de Gredos. Book ahead, especially if you're visiting on market day, as availability can be tight.
