It is located on the western slope of the Sierra de Atapuerca and south of the Peña Matagrande. Its territory is crossed by the route of the disappeared mining railroad. In the Floridablanca census of 1787 it is mentioned as a place that formed part of the Alfoz and Jurisdiction of Burgos, in the district of Burgos, one of the fourteen that formed the Intendancy of Burgos during the period between 1785 and 1833.

The church of the Virgen del Rosario in Villalval, of Romanesque origin, is in a state of ruin, pending rehabilitation and possibly converted into a pilgrims' hostel. Three dolmens have been found in the vicinity of the Villalval hamlet, the first is located between Villalval and the neighbouring town of Rubena and is in a good state of conservation, another is in an area known as Fuente del Mudo and conserves a good part of the burial mound, and the third is in the direction of Cardeñuela Riopico and is preserved complete but gradually degrading. In Villalval you can also see the Roman fountain, which is an old stone fountain with two semicircular arches superimposed.
In the Villalval neighbourhood, the Virgen del Rosario festivity is celebrated on 7 October.
The beautiful Roman fountain, located in a quiet natural spot of Villalval, is known as gorda by the locals.
