The town is located on the old road N-630, now highway A-66, about 100 kilometers from Badajoz and about 80 kilometers from the regional capital, Mérida .
In 1934 the mayor of the town was a Socialist by the name of Modesto José Lorenzana. He was known for his humanitarian efforts to improve the town. He was instrumental in using resources to improve the local water supplies. He also used municipal funds to buy food to alleviate the hunger of unemployed families within the district. During this period, and as preludes to the far rights moves to destabilize the democratic republican government of Spain, Salazar Alonso intervened in local democracy. In June 1934 the Civil Governor along with members of the Civil Guard and representatives of local right wing organizations accused Modesto José Lorenzana of misuse of public funds, and on these grounds and with dubious legal process removed him from office of Mayor. José Lorenzana was later murdered in September 1936.
