It is a municipality of the Priorat County. It is rugged because of the fact that the west buttresses of the Montsant touch it. The river under the same name is at its right side. The township has an are of 18.78 Km².

The village is at a height of 575 metres. This position allows us to watch a very beautiful landscape from there. The village is known as "El Sentinella del Priorat".

Another interesting place within the township is the one that is known as "Els Colls de Solans", fairly near from the village, from which we can contemplate a unique view from all de county. It is known as "El Balcó del Priorat" (the balcony of El Priorat)

The population's activity is the agriculture. The main products are the wine or the oil. The Cooperative was founded as a "Sindicat Agrícola" in 1932.

Given its suitable weather conditions, almost all the surface of the township is occupied by the vineyard, in its variety "garnatxa"(a large red grape). With it, wines of excellent quality and taste are elaborated. The wines belong to the "Denominació d'Origen Tarragona" (a quality attribute), in the area of Falset. They are bottled under the name of "Aubacs y Solans".

The olive oil belongs to the "Denominació d'Origen Siurana".

Its wonderful situation and weather are responsible of a change in La Figuera: it has become an ideal place to spend the weekends and to fix the second residence. During the weekends and Summer months, the village recovers the movement that lost some years ago.
