Where to stay in Almeria
El Alquián is a coastal village just east of Almeria city, so staying in the city centre gives you easy access without missing out on everything else Almeria has to offer. City Centre puts you close to the main sights and transport links, and the drive out to the market takes around 15 minutes.
If you want something closer to the coast, Hotel Playasol is a solid option near the seafront, or consider El Zapillo for a quieter base with a relaxed beach neighbourhood feel.
