Adra, Coastal municipality in Almería Province, Spain

The municipality of Adra extends along the Mediterranean coast at 20 meters above sea level, featuring both urban areas and agricultural lands.

Founded by Phoenicians as a trading colony, Adra served as the final Moorish stronghold before their defeat in January 1492, marking a turning point.

The Adra Museum displays artifacts from Phoenician, Punic, and Roman periods across three exhibition halls, presenting archaeological collections from different civilizations.

The town maintains two monthly bazaars near the Sports Center, offering local products and goods to residents and visitors throughout the year.

The Albufera de Adra wetland system holds international recognition through its designation as a Ramsar site of ecological significance.
