San Juan de Aznalfarache’s economy is closely tied to Seville’s metropolitan area, with many residents commuting to Seville for work. However, the town itself has a thriving local economy based on small businesses, retail, and services. In recent years, tourism has become an increasingly important part of the local economy, as visitors seek alternatives to the crowded streets of Seville while still enjoying proximity to its attractions.
Agriculture, particularly olive and citrus farming, remains a key industry in the surrounding Aljarafe region, with local olive oil being one of the town’s signature products. There are also artisanal crafts and businesses that contribute to the local economy, including ceramics, textiles, and traditional Andalusian crafts.
With the growth of tourism, hospitality and event services have expanded in San Juan de Aznalfarache, offering opportunities for hotels, restaurants, and event venues to attract visitors and organizers.
