The village is situated in the east of the province, in the Campiña Baja region, on the border with the province of Jaen. Practically all land is devoted to the cultivation of cereals and olives.

Cañete de las Torres possesses a discreet charm, as if wishing to go unnoticed among the olive trees and crop fields. It is a typical country village, with its white houses and narrow, winding streets. Monuments of note are the Tower, a relic of the old castle which has now been incorporated into Andalusia Square, and La Tercia, an 18th-century industrial building.
