Villacañas has been undergoing several infrastructural developments in recent years, especially in the areas of renewable energy and tourism. The town’s embrace of wind and solar energy production has not only created jobs but also made it a model for sustainability in the region.
Cultural initiatives are also on the rise, with the local government promoting the preservation of historical landmarks like the subterranean homes (silos) and investing in tourism infrastructure to make these sites more accessible. Recent improvements in transport connectivity and rural tourism development have made Villacañas increasingly popular as a destination for eco-tourism and cultural events.
