This little and beautiful village is situated to the north east of the province, in the midst of the Sierra de Segura Mountains, over a hill from where we have a spectacular view of the Tranco de Beas reservoir and the beginning of the Guadalquivir valley. The village spreads around the Castle, inside a walled area, where we must also mention the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción.

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.
