The exact geographic boundaries of La Sagra are not clearly defined. It is understood, however, that the comarca encompasses parts of the municipal district of Toledo, above all the neighborhood of Azucaica. According to information provided by the Diputaciones Provinciales of Madrid Fact|date=February 2008 and Toledo, these municipal districts are the only ones considered to be a part of the comarca.
The high, flat ground of La Sagra is part of the Submeseta Sur, and averages approximately 600 meters in altitude. The region has been experiencing a large population growth in the past few decades due to its proximity to the capital.
The majority of the fertile land of La Sagra is dedicated to the cultivation of
cereal s. Due to high clay content in the subsoil, a large part of all industrial activity is dedicated to ceramics, especially bricks and tiles. The area also supports a number of other specialized industries, and is home to a large number of industrial parks.Bibliography
