Motril, located on a hill, at the foothills of Sierra de Lújar, is considered the capital of the Tropical Coast. It enjoys a mild subtropical climate, propitious for growing species such as sugar cane and tropical fruits, which gives this land character.

It also shares the essence of the Mediterranean south: a tranquil sea, a bright blue and clear sky and a gentle breeze that offers visitors an enjoyable experience when visiting the beaches of La Joya, Poniente or Carchuna.

One of the biggest attractions in the city is the port, where there is frantic fishing, trade and sport activity. Torrenueva and Calahonda, which are also part of this municipality, have a fishing port and lovely beaches.
