It is situated on Cambrian land, in the valley of Ambroz River and at the foot of the Cruces Altas mountains (Sistema Central).

The Ambroz River flows through the outskirts of the village, creating a great natural pool that makes the town a popular place to visit.

These lands, have been a transit point of so many historical settlements between the Castilian and Extremadurian plateau, and therefore of many warlike skirmishes, preserving signs like the fortresses or traces of their stay.

According to Pascual Madoz, in the year 1847 in his Historical Statistical Geographic Dictionary, in his reference to La Granja, the town produces wheat, rye, barley, chickpeas, flax, oil, many vegetables, especially melons and watermelons.

The Ruta de la Plata Highway and its secondary road N-630 are only 1 km east from the town, which allows easy access to and from it.
