Located next to the river Adaja, about six miles southwest of Cardeñosa, within which municipality it falls, on the road from Avila to Arévalo.

It sits on a natural rise in the land, on granite rock, at 1,156 metres above sea level, with two striking rocky outcrops, the “little one” and the “big one”, to which it owes its name.
