Canillas de Aceituno is a small village located in the foothills of the "La Maroma" mountain in Spain.

The municipality of Canillas de Aceituno covers 42km2,
with the town centre located at an altitude of 645 m.
The population is around 2300 inhabitants.

There are plenty of other towns in the area that are steeped in history, including Trujllo; and the more modern, but still attractive, town of Zafra.
