Moros is located in the mountain range known as the Sistema Ibérico. It lies within the valley of the Manubles River, which is a tributary of the Jalón. The Manubles meanders around the rocky outcrop on which Moros stands.

Moros was evacuated in July 2022 because of forest fires.^[2]

Moros is one of the most attractive and picturesque villages of its kind in the area. Its narrow streets zigzag from the square at its highest elevation down to the river bed below. The houses are the main feature of the town. Hundreds of houses have been built tightly against the sunny side of the mountain. They are built with mud and decorated with red and ochre Arabic tiles. Each level of houses rises above the one beneath it to catch the sun as it rises over the valley.

The river below waters the gardens and orchards. The setting is famous for its tranquillity and silence. Two bridges in the area cross the river.

Moros sits on the medieval border separating Muslim (Moorish) and Christian kingdoms. Moros is Spanish for Moors. Following the expulsion of the Moors it straddled the Kingdom of Aragon and the Kingdom of Castile. Consequently, the town shows influences of numerous cultures.
