Where to stay in Montijo
Montijo is a small town, so your best bet is to stay close to the centre, where you can easily reach the market areas on foot. Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of everything and keeps things simple.
If you prefer a bit more comfort and don't mind being nearby, the larger city of Badajoz is just a short drive away and has more hotel options. Badajoz City Centre works well as a base if you want a wider choice of places to stay while still making day trips into Montijo.

Street markets in Montijo
The Montijo Street Market is the largest of the three, with around 25 stalls selling clothing, footwear, handicrafts, and books. It runs weekly and sets up outdoors along Ctra. Estación, close to the town centre, with cash as the primary payment method.
The Montijo Christmas Market shifts the focus to prepared foods and handicrafts, running weekly outdoors during the festive season. Stall numbers have not been formally published, but it draws visitors looking for seasonal gifts and seasonal food products specific to the Extremadura region.
The Montijo Craft and Antiques Market rounds out the offer with a weekly outdoor market dedicated to handicrafts and antiques. It is the most specialised of the three and appeals particularly to browsers hunting for one-off pieces. For general visitor information about the town and surrounding area, the Extremadura tourism office provides useful context.
