Where to stay in Benissa
Benissa is a small town, so your best bet is to stay centrally in Town Centre, where you can walk to the Mercat dels Porxes without any fuss. If you prefer something with more of a holiday feel, the coastal area of Benissa Costa is just a short drive away and has a good selection of accommodation.
For a more characterful stay, some travellers choose to base themselves in nearby Calpe or Moraira and make the short trip into Benissa on market day, which works well if you want more options for places to sleep.
