On the West of the City and the airport we find the developments Torremolinos, Fuengirola, Marbella and lastly Estepona. On the East lies the Axarquia area. The coast here is rockier and the towns of Rincon de la Victoria, Torre del Mar and Nerja are more isolated.
The coast is backed by a series of mountains that have to be crossed to reach the inland fertile valleys. The main A92 motorway runs inland from Malaga to Antequera, which connects to Seville, Cordoba and Granada, the C339 winds inland from San Pedro to Ronda and on to Seville.
