The town's economic foundation is built upon the pillars of forestry, agriculture, primarily cereals, sunflowers, and flax; livestock farming, with sheep and pigs representing the majority; and beekeeping.
The vegetation in the area is composed of pine woods with a variety of species and elements of typical Mediterranean woodland, including holm oaks, kermes oaks, gall oaks, and others.
The village holds festivities in honour of the Virgen de la Carrera on the weekend closest to 24 September. The Octave is also celebrated after Corpus Christi.
