Municipality belonging to the district of Sierra Norte, located in the north-western part of the province, on the border with the province of Badajoz. The municipality is included in the Natural Park Sierra Norte Mountain, area with large meadows alternating with forests of oaks, cork oaks, gall oaks, chestnut, pine and elm, as well as the gallery forests of the rivers. This provides ideal conditions for wildlife species such as otters, wild cats, wild boar, deer, fallow deer and mouflon. They are also ideal conditions for livestock.

The village centre, with its narrow, windy streets and white houses, also has some interesting monuments, such as the ruins of the Medieval Castle, the Church of San Bartolomé and the Hermitage of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios.
