The ridge to the north-west, the Serra del Cavall Bernat, drops, on the other side, 360 metres (1,180 ft) to the sea.[2] The ridge on the south-east side includes a peak called El Morral, which reaches 353 metres (1,158 ft).
The valley is only accessible by foot.[2] The inland end is marked by a finca called Finca Boquer. The Roman city of Bocchoris, which gives name to the valley, presumably lay here.[3][4]
