The comarca can be divided into three territories based on geography, from North to South:

• the mountain area (Adamuz and Montoro). Located in the foothills of the Sierra Morena, this region contains a number of important waterways, namely estuaries of the Guadalmellato, Yeguas, and Martín GonzaloMartín Gonzalo streams. It is also the location of several nature reserves, including the Parque Natural Sierra de Cardeña Montoro.
• The lowlands (Villa del Río, Pedro Abad, El Carpio, and Villafranca de Córdoba). Situated about the rivera del Guadalquivir, the Andalusian autovía (N-IV), and the Madrid-Cádiz railroad line, this zone is home to 70% of the population of the comarca.
• The countryside (Bujalance and Cañete de las Torres), the agricultural center of the comarca. A large, fertile territory, its predominant crops are olives, wheat, and sunflowers.
