Agriculture remains a key industry in Daimiel, with vineyards, olive groves, and cereal farming playing a significant role in the local economy. The town is known for producing high-quality wine and olive oil, products that attract both tourists and business opportunities. Daimiel is part of the larger La Mancha wine region, and many local wineries offer tours and tastings, contributing to the growing wine tourism industry.
Tourism is another economic driver, especially with the presence of Tablas de Daimiel National Park. Ecotourism and rural tourism have become increasingly important, as visitors seek the tranquility and natural beauty of the area. The town’s strategic location between Madrid and other major cities also makes it a favorable spot for weekend getaways and nature retreats.
In recent years, local craftsmanship has gained attention, with workshops and stores selling traditional pottery, textiles, and woodwork. These businesses not only preserve the town’s cultural heritage but also provide a boost to the local economy through artisanal tourism.
