Where to stay in Valencia de Alcántara
Valencia de Alcántara is a small town, so staying in Town Centre puts you within easy walking distance of the markets and the old quarter. Most accommodation here is in rural guesthouses and small hotels, which suits the pace of the place perfectly.
If you want something with a bit more character, look for a casa rural on the outskirts, where you get the countryside feel without being far from the action. Either way, you won't need a car to reach the market once you're checked in.
