Terra Market

Where to stay in Alqueria de Roca

Alqueria de Roca is a small village, so your best bet is to stay in nearby Valencia city, where you'll find plenty of options to suit every budget. Staying in El Carmen or Ruzafa puts you close to great transport links and plenty to do in the evenings.

If you'd prefer to be closer to the Terra Market itself, look for rural accommodation or agriturismos in the surrounding Valencia countryside, which can make for a quieter, more relaxed base.
