Where to stay in Vicar
Vícar is a small town, so your best bet is staying in the nearby resort strip of Roquetas de Mar, where you'll find plenty of hotels and apartments just a short drive away. It's a convenient base that keeps you close to the coast while giving you easy access to Vícar's markets.
If you'd prefer something closer to Almería city, Almería City Centre is another solid option, with good road links that make day trips to Vícar straightforward.
