Where to stay in Arbo
Arbo is a small town, so your best bet is to stay close to the town centre, where you can walk to the market and the local bars with ease. Town Centre puts you right in the middle of things without needing a car for every errand.
If you prefer a bit more comfort or flexibility, the nearby town of Salvaterra de Miño has more accommodation options and is just a short drive away. You could also look across the border, as the Portuguese town of Monção is minutes from Arbo and often has good value stays.
