Vilanova del Camí: Economy and Key Industries

Vilanova del Camí’s economy is largely driven by small- to medium-sized enterprises, with a focus on agriculture, light manufacturing, and services. The region’s fertile lands make it an ideal place for cultivating crops, particularly vineyards and olive groves. Wine production is a significant part of the local economy, and visitors can explore nearby wineries and taste some of the region’s finest products.

In recent years, the town has also seen growth in the manufacturing sector, particularly in textiles and leather goods, following in the footsteps of its neighbor, Igualada, known for its leather industry. Tourism, while not the primary economic driver, is growing as more people discover the cultural and natural offerings of this picturesque town.

Artisan crafts and local products are central to the economy as well. Visitors can explore local markets to purchase handcrafted goods, olive oil, wines, and other products made by local artisans. These markets also provide an insight into the town’s strong connection to its agricultural roots.
