The city centre is located to 480 metres above sea level, the average annual rainfall is 500 l/m2 and its temperature is 15,5º C 
 
The lack of natural barriers turns it into an area easily accessible that increases its income of position. We have to emphasize the important role that has the motorway A-92 that links the town with the Antequera, (16 Km.) and, beyond the regional boundary with Sevilla and Granada, and with Málaga (through the N-331). Other secondary communications are the branch that links Mollina with the N-331 (road of Córdoba) and another local road that links it with Alameda.
