Sierra Blanca, Mountain range and conservation area in Málaga Province, Spain.

Sierra Blanca rises to 1,275 meters at Pico del Lastonar, featuring exposed pale grey limestone formations across its slopes between Marbella and Sierra de las Nieves.

The mountain range emerged through Alpine orogeny processes, resulting in distinctive karstic formations that shaped the current geological structure of the region.

The name Sierra Blanca reflects the physical characteristics of the mountains, where minimal vegetation reveals the light-colored sedimentary rock underneath.

Multiple hiking trails provide access to the peaks from Marbella, offering routes through the municipalities of Istán, Ojén, and Monda.

The range contains several notable summits including Pico de la Concha at 1,270 meters and Salto del Lobo reaching 1,225 meters above sea level.
