The Sierra Blanca is a mountain range of the Penibaetic System in Málaga Province, Andalusia, Spain. Its highest point is the 1,275 m high Pico del Lastonar. It is the closest mountain to Marbella.
The Sierra Blanca, meaning 'White Range', is named after the lack of vegetation on its slopes which leaves the pale grey limestone rock exposed.
This karstic mountain range is part of the ranges fringing the Mediterranean coastline in the Costa del Sol area. It is located between the coast and the Sierra de las Nieves in the municipalities of Istán, Ojén, Marbella and Monda. The easiest route to reach it is from Marbella town.
The Pico de la Concha (1,270 m), meaning 'Seashell Peak', resembles a seashell seen from the west and is the second-highest summit of the range. Other notable peaks are the Salto del Lobo (1,225 m), Cerro de la Zarina (1,141 m) and the Cruz de Juanar (1,178 m).
Ecologist organizations in the area have proposed that the Sierra Blanca be declared a protected area, similar to the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park located in the neighbouring range.
