Cocentaina’s economy has traditionally been based on agriculture, with olive oil, almonds, and wine being among its key products. The town’s fertile lands and favorable climate have supported farming for centuries, and visitors can still see many olive groves and vineyards in the surrounding areas. Additionally, the annual Fira de Tots Sants plays a vital role in boosting the local economy, as it attracts tourists, vendors, and businesses from across the region.
In recent years, tourism has become increasingly important, with Cocentaina capitalizing on its rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, and proximity to major tourist hubs along the Costa Blanca. Local crafts, including pottery and textiles, also contribute to the town’s economy, with many artisans maintaining traditional methods passed down through generations.
The town has seen some diversification into light manufacturing and service industries, providing employment opportunities while preserving its agricultural roots.
