San Antonio is located 70 km from the provincial capital, Valencia. With a population of over 2,000, it is the largest village in Europe. It is very well connected: just 1.5 km from the exit of the Autovía del Este (Valencia–Madrid), and served by two national roads leading to Albacete and Ayora. The village has a bus service, a Renfe station and a high-speed rail station (AVE) at Requena-Utiel. An airfield is just five minutes away, and Valencia International Airport is 40 minutes away. Local amenities include supermarkets, pharmacies and schools.

San Antonio lies to the south of, and at the foot of, the Juan Navarro mountain range, where local wildlife roams, including partridges, hares, wild rabbits and wild boar. The subsoil in the area is rich in aquifers, as evidenced by the many springs around the village: Fuente del Mono, Fuente de la Jedrea and San Benedetto. The Magro River flows south of San Antonio’s urban area on its way to the Júcar River in the Ribera Alta region.

San Antonio’s economy is primarily agricultural. Vineyards are the mainstay of the region, and especially of this village, thanks to the care lavished on the vines and their fruit, and the results achieved by the several wineries located here, renowned under the Utiel-Requena designation of origin. A wide range of cultural and adventure sports activities are also available, including rafting, kayaking, canyoning, climbing and hiking. The famous Hoces del Cabriel and Chera Geological Park are just 20 km away.
