The town is served by the Málaga Metropolitan Transport Consortium Metropolitan bus lines.

The municipality of Pizarra is located in a strategic area in the Guadalhorce Valley region, between Álora and Cártama. It is 10 km from Álora and around 13 km from Cártama. Pizarra is crossed by the Guadalhorce River along 8.5 kilometres (which has a width of 11.5) and 8 km, from east to west and from north to south, respectively. Pizarra is also surrounded by Almogía, Cártama, Coín, Álora, and Casarabonela.

It is located 80 meters above sea level. Its highest point is in the Sierra de Gibralmora, 447 meters above sea level, which offers, on the side facing Pizarra, a unique landscape of sandstone rocks that is made spectacular by some of the shapes that this rock presents at the top.

Pizarra is very well connected to its capital, Málaga, which is 30 km away and can be reached from the town by road, bus or rail.

Pizarra is a municipality dedicated to irrigation, as it has a municipal surface area of just over 64 km² dedicated to this. The local products of the land are typical of the Guadalhorce Valley, as are the neighbouring towns. In dry land, the most important crops are olive and almond trees, and to a lesser extent, but no less important, cereals and legumes. As for irrigated land, lemon and orange trees predominate.
