Sorbas

Sorbas, Almeria

Sorbas lies on the N340 highway just off the E15. Roughly 58 km from the capital, it has a population of 2831, and is about 250 square kilometres in area.

The greater part of the population are urban, including three outlying parishes Garrafillos, Cariatiz and La Huelga.

Close to Sorbas, Karst de yesos is one of the most important parts of Almeria. Over millions of years, chemical reactions in the underground water have created a breathtaking network of linked caves and galleries, as well as being a source of natural plaster for the building industry.

Sorbas has many historic buildings, including the 17th century Iglesia de Santa María, the House of Duke of Alba, the Teatro del Carpio.

Typical of the town are the "casas colgantes", overhanging houses that seemingly stuck to the sides of a deep gorge. And in Alfarería, there are some Moorish furnaces that are still in use today.
