This town is situated on the Mediterranean shore, in a fertile plain surrounded
by the Calar and Contraviesa Sierras. Adra is a town which has clean, white
streets and many squares adorned with beautiful gardens such as the Plaza de
Andalucía ("Andalusia Square") in the higher area or that
of San Nicolás next to the promenade with the Cañón
fountain, or that of San Sebastián.
The plaza del Mar ("Sea Square") is the geographic and
administrative centre of the town and the Town Hall is here. Almost next
door, in the calle Iglesia ("Church Street") is the parochial church of the Immaculate Conception.
The torre de los Perdigones ("Partridge Tower"), symbol of the town and
testimony to Saint Andrew's great lead foundation, rises up at the end of the
paseo Natalio Rivas ("Natalio Rivas avenue").
Adra is both a shipping and seaside town which boasts magnificent beaches
on which to holiday. Poniente beach possesses the European Community blue
flag for unpolluted beaches and Levante beach has a new promenade. The
paseo de Natalio Rivas divides it into two asymmetrical parts: one part looks
towards the sea where the port is and where one can daily contemplate the
picturesque sight of the fishermens' arrival and the auction of fish.
