The village of Arboleas is situated on the riverbank in the Almanzora valley, one of many small settlements along the course of the (now dry) Almanzora river, which once watered the fertile plain. It has a strong agricultural economy, producing citrus fruit, olives, almonds and cereals. Its history can be traced back to prehistoric times, through to the Romans, Moors and Christians, though the origins of the present village are medieval.
