The geographical factor unifying and identifying this county is the Guadiato River, which has its source within the Fuente Ovejuna municipal area and receives water from several streams and reservoirs.

The valley landscape is quite particular, with smooth shapes and rounding hills. However, we can also find outstanding exceptions which confer this area a wilder appearance and allow climbing practice.

“La Dehesa”, a nice example of the interaction between human beings and their environment, dominates the rural panorama.Rich pastures grow within these farms, sustaining a quality cattle raising, mainly sheep and pigs.It is also an appropriate ecosystem for hunting practice.
