It is close to the Costa Blanca and shares borders with Sant Joan d’Alacant, El Campello, San Vicente del Raspeig, and the city of Alicante itself, making it a good base for exploring both the city and the coast. The geography is slightly hilly, with fertile agricultural areas, particularly for tomatoes and other horticultural products, which are still part of the local identity.

For nature and outdoor enthusiasts, there are various hiking trails, and projects like the "Camins d'Aigua" (Aigua Walks) provide further insight into the region's water management and irrigation history.
