Where to stay in Elche
Staying in central Elche puts you closest to the stadium area, so look at options around City Centre for easy access on market day. The Hotel Huerto del Cura is a well-regarded choice with a peaceful feel, or you can try the NH Elche if you prefer something more straightforward and central.
Both options are well connected to the rest of the city, so you won't have any trouble getting around before or after the market.
