Where to stay in Lalin
Lalin is a small town, so your best bet is staying in the town centre, Centro, where you can walk easily to the markets and have plenty of cafés and restaurants on hand. The Hotel Pontevedra Lalin is a solid, central option if you want something comfortable and straightforward.
If you prefer a bit more flexibility, searching for rural guesthouses just outside town is worth considering, as the surrounding Galician countryside has some good options for those with a car.
