El Ejido (Шаблон:IPA-es) is a municipality of Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. It is located 32 km from Almería with a surface area of 227 km2, and as reported in 2014 had 84,144 inhabitants. El Ejido is the centre of production for fruit and vegetables in the "Comarca de El Poniente". The work opportunities the city provides attract many foreign farmhands, who look for jobs mainly in the greenhouses there. Some greenhouses have begun using computer-controlled hydroponics[1] systems, thus saving on labour, improving efficiency and the local economy.
In close proximity to the city along the coast line is situated Almerimar, a popular destination for tourism and relaxation.
