Fanzara is located in a valley at the foot of the Mijares river. A large part of the municipality is covered by large areas of woodland, where the predominant species are pines and holm oaks. In the past, agriculture consisted almost exclusively of dry farming and the fields were located in the classic terraces, although nowadays most of them have been abandoned. There are also irrigated lands, particularly of citrus fruits, in the lower part of the village, next to the river.
