It is located at an altitude of 120 m.a.s.l., in the middle of arid sandy mountains and an exuberant valley, very close to the sea. It is an agricultural area, its main crops are fruits such as grapes, apples, pears, peaches, pomegranates, quinces and pacaes; thanks to its temperate climate that in winter is 16 °C, and in summer with an average of 30 °C.
These cultivated fields are irrigated with the waters of the Mala River, which comes from the high peaks of the western chain of the Andes, and which contribute to the richness of its soils.
