In 2005 it was the second most populated village in the municipality after Puigventós with 250 inhabitants.
The expansive borders of Cruïlles extend from the plains of Empordà to finally encompass much of the massifs of the Gavarres. The village is located at the Pla de Cruïlles, above the Daró river and at the foot of the rural road GI-664 between la Bisbal d'Empordà and Cassà de la Selva, a few miles from la Bisbal.
The town was the seat of the lords of Cruïlles, which, in the thirteenth century, was also Peratallada.
