Alcarraz is primarily an agricultural hub, with a significant portion of its economy dedicated to fruit production, particularly peaches and pears. The town is part of the broader Lleida region, which is often referred to as the “fruit basket” of Spain due to its vast orchards and favorable growing conditions. Agriculture drives much of the local economy, with farms and related industries offering a livelihood to many residents.
In addition to agriculture, small-scale manufacturing and service industries also play a role in the local economy. There is a growing interest in agrotourism, where visitors can experience life on the farm, participate in fruit picking, and learn about the agricultural processes that define the region. This blend of agriculture and tourism offers a unique draw for event planners seeking rural, open-air venues with a local flair.
Local businesses include craft industries, with some artisans specializing in traditional Catalonian crafts. Visitors can find handmade goods in local markets, adding to the city’s authentic feel and economic diversity.
