Where to stay in Macael
Macael is a small town, so accommodation options are limited locally. Your best bet is to stay in Town Centre where you'll be within easy reach of the market action, or consider basing yourself in nearby Olula del Río, which has a few more options and is just a short drive away.
If you'd rather stay somewhere with more facilities, the city of Almería makes a comfortable base and is around an hour's journey into the marble-quarrying heartland. From there you can plan day trips to Macael's markets without any trouble.

Municipal markets in Macael
The Macael Municipal Market is an indoor hall with 15 stalls open on a weekly basis. Stall holders stock fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, nuts and dried fruits, and prepared foods, making it a practical stop for everyday grocery shopping. It is the smaller of the two markets in town but offers more variety in food categories than the street market.
Street markets in Macael
The Macael Weekly Market is the larger of the two, with 90 outdoor stalls running once a week. Shoppers come for clothing and footwear as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. At 90 stalls it is a proper weekly event and worth timing your visit around if you are already exploring markets in Almería province. Nearby Albox also holds a street market if you want to combine trips in the Almanzora Valley area.
