Where to stay in Banyeres de Mariola
Banyeres de Mariola is a small hill town, so accommodation options are limited but charming. Staying in the town centre puts you close to the fair and within easy walking distance of the castle and old streets. If you prefer more choice, the nearby city of Alcoy is worth considering as a base, with a short drive back for the festivities.
