Located at the foot of a sierra, halfway along a valley, Crevillente maintains the typically complex urban layout of its Islamic origins. The neighbourhood of cave dwellings contrast with the modernity of the newer districts. Surrounded by greenery, it is proud of its traditions, and culture, making its principal activity an art form. Crevillent belongs to the region of the Baix Vinalopó together with Elche and Santa Pola. Six separate community entities or "pedanías": are included within its territory San Felipe Neri, The Realengo, The Barrio de la Estación, The Casicas, El Rincón de los Pablos and the Barranco de San Cayetano.
