This village, near the border with Granada, is situated to the south east of the province on flat lands covered with olive and almond trees and some vineyards, at the foot of the mountains of the same name which are linked with the Sierra de Castril Natural Park. Near the village we can find the beautiful La Bolera Reservoir.

Part of its municipal district is included in the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas National Park, the largest protected natural space in Spain: an orographic labyrinth of valleys, calares, gorges, mountains and flat lands of enormous hydrological importance (due to the numerous rivers and streams which spring within the Park); of great botanical importance (different varieties of pine trees and a lot of endemic species); it is also important aesthetically and from a wildlife point of view. Because of this it is one of the most visited and frequented natural spaces in the country.
