Two thirds of the local area is occupied by forest, in the north of the township. This area has been repopulated with conifers, which alternate with areas of scrubland, which are ideal for both big and small game hunting species.
The southern third of the municipal area mainly consists of olive groves, with some areas dedicated to cereals and allotments.
The area surrounding the Guadalimar river and the Guadalmena reservoir are great recreational areas close to nature.
Highlights of the town’s artistic heritage include the Arabic castle, the Iglesia Parroquial de San Pedro (Parochial Church of Saint Peter), built at the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century, and the Casa de la Encomienda, which was the home of the poet Jorge Manrique.
