To the south of El Romeral are the so-called Sierras de El Romeral, rocky outcrops covered with holm oaks and kermes oaks. At their feet springs of water emerge from the source of the Butarque River. The areas where the water flowed became permanently flooded land. An example of these springs is La Alberca, a spring that was transformed during the 80s with the dual purpose of supplying irrigation water to crops, and as a bathing area for the people of Romeral.
