More information about Adra
Adra is a city, situated in the region of Poniente, at 50 km. of the capital, the fourth municipality of importance in the province, with more than 24.500 inhabitants. Traditionally the economy is based on fishing and the sea in general. The foundation by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BC. made Abdera a unique commercial enclave. Later the Romans transported their garum, a very appreciated product in the roman kitchen, from the abderitanian coast to many harbours around the Mediterranean Sea.
Sugarcanes were introduced during the second half of the sixteenth century and together with the canning industry, it developed Adra into a very important commercial harbour. The increase in commercial activities with other Mediterranean harbours awakened the interest of Italian merchants from Genova and Milan; the control over the production of sugarcanes as also their transformation provided them a huge influence in the city of Adra.
Nowadays, the harbour of Adra, built as from 1911, is still one of the most influential harbours on the Mediterranean coast considering the extension of the fleet. The agricultural sector with the intensive horticulture, also called horticulture under plastic, is the basis for the economy of the city, which reminds of the importance of Adra since the 16th century with the production of sugarcanes. The spectacular economic activity which is developed by the service-sector should not be forgotten.
The city of Adra, situated on the border of the provinces of Almeria and Granada, has a coast of more than 13 km. where many beaches can be found, each one of them with a unique and attractive beauty. That is why these beaches in the last several years have become the holiday destination of many visitors. At the same time, they have received the appreciation of different authorities, like the Q for touristic Quality as well as the blue banners of the European Union. The motorway of the Mediterranean Sea allows a quick communication with the surrounding areas, which contributes to an economical and touristic development of the region.
