Geography

Almargen has a landscape border between Serranía de Ronda, the Málaga plain to the north and the countrysides of Seville and Cádiz. It has a rugged terrain towards the mountainous landscape of Cañete la Real, where the road takes advantage of the narrow valley of the Cañada de la Saucedilla and rises until the towns at the gates of the Serranía. A landscape that contrasts sharply with that of the agricultural plain that stretches around the village of olive groves, corn and sunflower. Beyond the plain landscape it has small rounded hills, which marks the roof of the town more than a hundred feet above the urban center (510 m), in the hills of Salguera (620 m), Galán (612 m) and La Grana (649 m).
