Motril

Located in edge of the Mediterranean and with the foot of the sierras (from which the Nevada Sierra), it profits from a privileged climate.

Profiting from a particular geographical location (crossroads of the roads of Madrid, Malaga, Almeria), the trade is favorable there because also of a flourishing commercial port (the only port of the Province). The culture (fruits, vegetables, canes with sugar), the iron ore exploited with open sky until there is little, fishing and the breeding, made it possible this town of live in relative independence without needing tourism.
