Situated partly on a plain and partly on the slope of a hill, it enjoyed good ventilation and a healthy climate. The locality had 34 houses, a town hall with a jail, a primary school attended by about 40 pupils of both sexes, and a parish church dedicated to the Purification of Our Lady, served by a priest and a sacristan; a spring with good though somewhat heavy water lay outside the settlement.^[2]

Its boundaries bordered Pradilla, Tierzo, Traid, and Prados Redondos. The surrounding terrain was uneven, clayey, and stony, with woodland containing holm oak, oak, juniper, rosemary, and other shrubs. Local production consisted mainly of cereals, legumes, potatoes, and firewood, with livestock raising supported by good pastures; hunting included hares, rabbits, and partridges, as well as wolves and foxes.
