Its landscape consists of patches of oak tree forests, with forests and orchards of chestnut trees, which constitute one of the main economic incomes of the local community.
Even though Espinhosela is very rural, it is only 17 km away from Bragança city centre. Most of the population is quite aged, but due to the 4 nature routes that cross the village, there is an influx of tourists in the village. The village has a souvenir shop with local products.
