Huétor-Tájar, located on the west side of Granada, is also called surco intrabético, i.e. fissure dividing the Bética mountain range, last steps of the high plateaus that link Levante to Andalusia, and shares the distinctive characteristics of the area.

On the riverbanks of the Genil, it displays the diversity of sceneries of the villages in the Granada valley, and of the farmlands, which in the case of Huétor-Tájar are large producers of its well-known asparagus.
