The northern half of the comarca is dominated by the Pla Guillem and the mountain of Canigó, and to the south are the mountains of Puig de Comanegra and Roc de la Fraussa.
Ceret, the capital, contains about a third of the comarca's polulation. Other notable towns include Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda, Arles, and Prats-de-Mollo-la-Preste.

By the 18th century, the form Vall de Spir appears to be the most common, seen in documents from 1706 and 1813.[2][3] In the 19th century, other references call it Val Spir or Val Spire.[4]
