Municipality in El Baix Camp, at 196 meters above sea level. The township, that takes up 11.98km2, has a narrow shape and it is located on a plain of quaternary sedimentation soil (very common in the natural region of El Camp de Tarragona). Only the northern part of town climbs to the top of an elevation.

Botarell bounds with Riudecanyes and Montbrió del Camp to the south, Riudecols ans Les Borges del Camp to the north and Riudoms to the east.

Many gullies and torrents traverse the territory but they only carry water in the rainy seasons. The most important torrents are La Riera de les Voltes and La Riera de Riudecols although none of them spring up in Botarell.

Agriculture has been and still is the most important economical sector, since industry does not provide much work for our inhabitants. An important part of the residents work out of town in factories and service industries.

The cultivated soil is mostly unirrigated but, now the reservoir of Siurana and the new irrigation channel have considerably increased the irrigated lands. The chief crops are olive, almond and hazelnut trees. There are some plantations of carob trees, fruit trees and some vegetable gardens. As a complement to agriculture there are a few poultry and porcine farms.
