Adra, Spain
Adra, the classical Abdera, is a municipality of Almería province, Spain.
Abdera was founded by the Phoenicians as a trading colony. It later grew to prominence under the Roman Empire.
Adra was the last stronghold of the Moors in Spain. In January 1492 it was here that the forces of Boabdil were defeated ending the power of the Moors in Spain.
In the 16th century defensive walls were built to protect the settlement. These partially survive.
Adra had a population of 25,412 inhabitants in 2020 (according to the municipal census published by the National Institute of Statistics).
The percentage of foreign born residents was 5.2% in 2005. The majority of these residents originated from Morocco, making up 49% of the total.
The percentage of people living in the urban centre of Adra has been slowly increasing. In 2017 it represented 80% of the total municipal population.
Adra Museum: Visitors can spend their free time in the three exhibition halls of the museum, which show the cultural legacy of the Phoenician, Punic and Roman civilizations, and which educate and entertain at the same time. Important exhibitions of national prestige are periodically held here with success. The museum has a shop where archaeological reproductions can be bought. A nearby mill, El Molino del Lugar, built around 1814 and recently renovated, is the site of the ethnographic section of the museum.
