It is located between several torrential courses, such as the Manol or the Cistella stream, and is located right at the first foothills of the Salines massif, a protected natural space ideal for hiking and mountain biking.

The different urban centers that make up the municipality, headed by Cistella, have several points of interest, such as the churches of Santa Maria and Sant Martí, both of which preserve splendid Romanesque facades from the 12th century, or the sanctuary of Our Lady of Life. The entire village of Vilarig is also very attractive, which preserves buildings and constructions from the 15th to the 18th centuries.

It is an ideal place to combine the discovery of its scattered small villages and farmhouses, as well as to practice sports in the middle of nature.
