Where to stay in Castroverde
Castroverde is a small town, so your best bet is to stay close to the centre, where you'll be within easy reach of the fairgrounds and the main action. Try Town Centre for the most convenient base, or look at options in Lugo City Centre if you want more choice and don't mind a short drive out on fair day.
Lugo is only around 30 kilometres away and has a solid range of hotels to suit most budgets, so it works well as a base if Castroverde's local accommodation is fully booked during the fair. Check availability at Hotel Méndez Núñez as a reliable central option with easy road access to Castroverde.
