Adra is in the extreme southeast corner of Almeria and on the coast. The coastal location means Adra enjoys mild summers with temperatures rarely above 100F. The Sierra Nevadas rise above the town to a height of around 960 meters. Adra is on the main coastal highway which runs from Cadiz all the way to Barcelona.
Adra is historically a fishing port and today's town of around 20,000 people still support a fishing fleet though intensive agriculture (that is the long tubes of black plastic in the fields) is also very important. Adra has escaped the excessive English tourism of further up the coast and you may have to practice your Spanish language skills when checking into your Adra hotel. Adra has a pleasant beach and is popular spot for Spanish families to stay at budget hotel for a week or so.
