Llíber is the smallest village (498 inhabitants) in the Vall de Pop region, situated next to the Jalón River (also called Gorgos) in a fertile valley whose northernmost reaches form the Sierra de Bernia and the Sierra del Castell de la Solana. The village has been traditionally linked to the nearby Jalón, from which it gained its independence. Its economy is based on agriculture, mainly dry-land crops, in particular grapes, oranges and almonds, and the traditional riu-raus (drying houses) once used for drying raisins can still be seen. Wine is also produced and marketed under the ´Vall de Xaló´ by the Virgen Pobre cooperative; muscatel wines are a speciality.
