It is within the Alicante metropolitan area and shares the same fire department and metro services. Its population growth is due to its function as a bedroom community, as well as in recent years, its isolation from tourist areas, its cultural and academic activities, and because has part of the campus of the University Miguel Hernández of Elche (Elx). It comprises two zones: the town of Sant Joan (Sant Joan Poble) and Benimagrell, which is now joined through its urban expansion.
