It is located in the access of ‘Sierra de Cazorla, Segura y las Villas’ Natural Park and the Guadalimar river passes through its district.

On January 21, 2001, it became independent from ‘Beas de Segura’ city council.

This process began with a denied request on June 4, 1953, as a result of a resolution by the Spanish ‘Consejo de Ministros’ (Ministers’ Council).

On November 3, 1958, another request was made to the ‘Ministro de Gobernación’ (Government Minister) that was also refused on September 10, 1959, in a decree.

In September 1983 a Pro-Segregation committee was founded and a dossier was submitted to the ‘Beas de Segura’ city council, which sent it to the Andalusia's Government.
