Where to stay in Benimodo
Benimodo is a small village, so your best bet is to stay nearby in Alzira or Xàtiva, both well-connected and full of good accommodation options. Try Alzira town centre for easy access to the surrounding area, or Xàtiva town centre if you want a bit more history and character around you.
Either base puts you within a short drive of Benimodo on market day, and you'll have far more choice for places to eat and sleep than in the village itself.
