Where to stay in Sorbas
Sorbas is a small village, so accommodation options are limited, but staying in Town Centre puts you close to everything and makes getting around on foot easy. For a bit more choice, the nearby coastal town of Mojácar is worth considering, and you can find good options at Mojácar Pueblo just a short drive away.
If you prefer to base yourself closer to Almería city for a wider selection of hotels, that works well too, and the drive to Sorbas is straightforward. Either way, book ahead if you're visiting during a market day or local fiesta, as rooms in the area fill up quickly.

Municipal markets in Sorbas
The Plaza del Mercado de Abastos is the main food market in Sorbas, housed in an indoor hall on Calle Andalucia in the town centre. With around 25 stalls, it is the larger of the two markets and runs on a weekly schedule. The covered space keeps it comfortable year-round, which matters in a town where summer temperatures regularly exceed 35°C. Stalls sell fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, and cheese and dairy products.
Street markets in Sorbas
The Sorbas Weekly Market is an outdoor street market with around 20 stalls, making it a worthwhile companion to the municipal hall. It runs once a week and focuses on fresh fruit and vegetables alongside clothing and footwear. As an open-air market it works best in the cooler months, though vendors turn out through the warmer season too.
