It is a municipality of the Priorat county, situated on the west side of it. The township has an area of 22.85 Km².

It is on the right side of the Siurana river, in the south-west boundary of the township. Some metres below, the Siurana river flows into the Ebro river, within the neighbour township of Garcia.

The village is at a height of 228 metres, on the top of a mountain range where the right side of the valley of the Siurana river can be watched at. It is the only inhabited place within the township.

The village is mainly agricultural, although fifty per cent of the surface is waste and occupied by grazing lands, woods and thickets. Most of the crops are unirrigated crops, and there is a few area next to the river where there are irrigated ones. The most important crop is the vineyard, and are also quite important the olive and the almond trees and the cereals.

The Agricultural Cooperative was not created until 1950, because during the first half of the century the local economy had been based on the mining. The agriculture was a complementary activity.

The mines of galena of the township had been exploited for ages. They started to be exploited in a mechanised and systematically way in the beginning of the century. For some years, there were some shift workings and people from everywhere of the county working in them.

Nowadays, they are almost abandoned because they are not economically profitable.

Most of the mines are fairly deep, and re full of water. Some of this water is used for watering the lands near the mines.
