Where to stay in Sorbas
Sorbas is a small village, so accommodation options are limited, but staying in Town Centre puts you within a few minutes' walk of both the food hall and Plaza de la Constitución. 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. Book ahead if you're arriving for a Thursday market or a local fiesta.

Municipal markets in Sorbas
The Plaza del Mercado de Abastos is the town's food market, an indoor hall at Calle Andalucia 11 in the centre. It has around 25 stalls and trades three mornings a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, from 8am to 3pm. Stalls sell fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, cheese and dairy, and bread and bakery goods, which makes it the place for a full shop rather than a top-up.
The hall is wheelchair accessible, and its stalls take cash and mobile payment. Opening hours and the full listing are on the municipal markets page.
Street markets in Sorbas
The Sorbas Weekly Market sets up outdoors on Plaza de la Constitución every Thursday from 9am to 2pm, with around 20 stalls. It leans towards fresh fruit and vegetables, clothing and textiles, and footwear and leather, so it complements the food hall rather than repeating it. Because both fall on the same morning, you can do the two in one trip: the hall opens an hour earlier and stays open an hour later. The street markets page carries the stall breakdown.
For more options across the province, the Almeria markets page covers every town. Nearby towns with their own markets include Mojacar and Carboneras. The official Ayuntamiento de Sorbas website carries local event and schedule updates for the town.
