Madridejos’ economy is largely driven by agriculture, with olives, vineyards, and cereal crops playing a major role. Olive oil production is particularly significant, and the region is known for its high-quality extra virgin olive oil, which is exported internationally. Vineyards also thrive in the surrounding area, producing some of the region’s finest wines under the La Mancha Denomination of Origin.
Local craftsmanship, especially in leather goods and textiles, also contributes to the town’s economy. Many small businesses offer handmade products that reflect the area’s artisanal traditions. Tourism is another important economic driver, with visitors drawn to the town’s historical sites, cultural festivals, and proximity to major attractions like Toledo.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in ecotourism and agritourism in Madridejos, with visitors participating in olive harvests, wine tastings, and farm tours, creating new opportunities for local businesses to expand.
