Located in the Campiña district near the city of Seville, the town is at the western edge of the hills for which the area is named.
The Guadaíra river and the irregular land forms add some interest to a landscape which would otherwise be very monotonous.
The settlement, of very ancient origins, has some interesting monuments, including the Castle, the Castle of Marchenilla, the Roman bridge, the Casa del Pósito, the Palace of Gandul, the church of Santiago, the church of San Sebastián and the flour mills along the river banks
