The village is placed in a small hill next to the plains if the Francolí river. The term is dominated by irrigated lands, thanks to the wells that have allowed having a significant flow of water. There are vegetable gardens and fruit trees, but the most important cultivation is the hazel. Olive trees, vines and almond trees take up the dry lands. The main street is the historical axis of the village; its old houses and the castle suggest us a farm village image, open to the country field and the nature. All these elements give a singular appearance to the landscape, ordered by farming's, unevenness and ways.
