Where to stay in Riópar
Riópar is a small village, so accommodation options are limited but perfectly suited to a quiet rural stay. Your best bet is to look for a rural house or small hotel in Riópar village centre, which puts you within easy walking distance of the craft market.
If you want more choice, the nearby town of Riópar Viejo and the surrounding Sierra de Alcaraz area have some appealing rural retreats, so consider browsing Sierra de Alcaraz for a countryside base you can easily drive in from.
