Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MOTRIL , a town of southern Spain in the province of
Granada
 , at the foot of an offshoot of the Sierra Nevada and on the edge of a
rich
  alluvial plain, about i m. from the Mediterranean and 40 M. S.S.E. of
Granada
 , with which it is connected by a good carriage road. Pop. (1900), 18,528. The climate is semi-tropical, and the vega or plain of Motril has been found peculiarly adapted for the culture of
sugar
 -cane and
sugar
 -beet. In the
district
 , and esnecially at Salobrefia, 3 M. west, there are numerous sugar-factories;
cotton
  is also grown and manufactured, and alcohol, flour, soap, iron goods and
cotton
  stuffs are among the other industrial products. The neighbourhood is
rich
  in zinc and lead; and copper is also found. Motril itself is a port of the second class, but the anchorage at Calahonda, 41 M.
south
 -
east
 , is much better. Grapes, barley, esparto grass, dry
figs
 , almonds and zinc are exported.
