This picturesque village of steep streets is situated to the north east of the province, in the Sierra de Segura mountains, near the limit with the Albacete province. It is located in a valley surrounded by rugged hills with thick vegetation. In the village we can find numerous monuments, such as the Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, the Casa Tercia House, the Tower of el Cubo, the Chapel of San Roque and the Plaza del Agua Square. Nearby we can find interesting places like la Peña del Olivar, la Fresnedilla and las Acebas.

Part of 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.
