The economy of Tomares is closely tied to the larger metropolitan area of Seville, with many residents commuting to Seville for work. While Tomares is primarily a residential area, it has a growing local economy that focuses on services, retail, and some light industry. Tourism, driven by the city’s proximity to Seville, is becoming an increasingly important sector, with visitors drawn to Tomares for its tranquility and proximity to major attractions.
Agriculture has traditionally played a role in the local economy, and while less dominant today, the surrounding countryside is still home to olive groves and vineyards. These provide local markets with high-quality produce, including olive oil and wine, which are staples of Andalusian cuisine.
Tomares is also home to several family-owned businesses and craftspeople who maintain traditional industries such as ceramics and leatherwork, offering unique local products that reflect Andalusian culture and craftsmanship.
