Where to stay in Chinchón
Chinchón is a small town, so staying central puts you right in the action. The Town Centre keeps you a short walk from the Plaza Mayor, where the medieval market takes shape. For a more characterful stay, the Parador de Chinchón is a converted 17th-century convent right in the heart of town and a great base for the whole visit.
If the Parador is outside your budget, there are smaller guesthouses and rural hotels around Plaza Mayor that offer good value and the same convenient location. Book early if you're visiting during the market, as Chinchón draws visitors from Madrid and rooms fill up quickly.
