Where to stay in Montijo
Montijo is a small town, so your best bet is to stay close to the centre, where you'll be within easy walking distance of the market and the main square. Try Town Centre for the most convenient base, or look at options in Badajoz City Centre if you'd prefer a wider choice of accommodation just a short drive away.
Badajoz, only around 15 kilometres from Montijo, gives you access to more hotels at different price points, making it a practical option if you plan to explore the wider region too.
