Berja is a municipality of Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. It is located on the south-eastern slope of the Sierra de Gádor, 10 miles north-east of Adra by road. Despite the lack of a railway, Berja has a healthy trade. Lead is mined in nearby mountains, and the more sheltered valleys produce grain, wine, oil, fruit and esparto grass. These, along with paper, linen and cotton goods manufactured locally in small quantities, are exported from Adra.
