The village is situated to the east of the province, at the foot of the Sierra de Cazorla Mountains, looking over a countryside dominated by olive groves.

Part of its municipal district lies within 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.
