The delightful holiday resort town of Adra, the western-most
coastal town in the province of Almeria, is surrounded by
magnificent beaches and is rich in history, having been founded in
the 8th century. Adra remains a working fishing harbour and
early-rising visitors enjoy the daily dawn fish auctions and dining
out at the many tempting seafood restaurants. The clean, neat town
centre with its many squares and parks is split by the attractive
Paseo de Natalio Rivas promenade. Sights to see include the Church
of the Immaculate Conception, the Partridge Tower (which houses the
tourist office), an historic restored mill and the town's
interesting museum. Adra boasts the Poniente blue flag beach among
its stretches of beautiful sandy shore.
