Vich has a diverse economy that blends agriculture, manufacturing, and services. Historically, agriculture played a crucial role in the local economy, and even today, the surrounding Osona region is known for its high-quality pork production and sausages, particularly the famous fuet and butifarra. These products are integral to Vich’s identity and are widely exported.
In recent years, the city has seen growth in the manufacturing sector, particularly in food processing and machinery. Vich’s location in central Catalonia, with good transport links to Barcelona and other major cities, has helped foster its development as an industrial and commercial hub.
Tourism is also a growing sector in Vich, thanks to its rich cultural heritage, scenic landscapes, and vibrant events calendar. The city has successfully positioned itself as a destination for cultural tourism, with its medieval fairs, architectural landmarks, and museums attracting visitors from across Catalonia and beyond.
