Where to stay in Elda
Elda is a small city, so staying central is your best bet for reaching the Medieval Fair on foot. Look for options around City Centre or along the main avenues close to the old town, where most of the festival action takes place.
If you'd prefer a bit more comfort or choice, the nearby city of Petrer sits right on Elda's doorstep and shares easy access to the fair. You could also consider staying in Novelda or Elche, both within easy driving distance if you want a wider selection of hotels.
