It is an eminently agricultural village, formerly centred on the cultivation of dryland crops such as grape, carob, almond and olive. Due to the increased use of irrigation, there has been an increase in the production of fruit, oranges and vegetables. Clay and sand mining, together with the transportation of these products, also represents an important local economic activity.

In 1795, the village obtained its independence. The original document declaring its new-found status, signed by King Charles 4th on 7th May, 1795, has survived.","galeria-poblacion":[59382,59387,59392,59397,59402,59407,59412,59417,59422,59427],"descripcion_2":"
