Agriculturally could not be grown much, because the area is sloping from the mountains to the sea, so the land prices were then very cheap. The city is located 55 km southwest of Malaga. Not only the sea characterizes the good location of Marbella, but also the fantastic mountains of the Sierra Blanca, which is a good attraction for a trip.
