Verín’s economy is primarily driven by agriculture, particularly viticulture, with its wines from the Monterrei DO region being highly regarded throughout Spain and internationally. The area’s fertile soil and favorable climate make it ideal for growing grapes, and many vineyards in the surrounding countryside offer wine tours and tastings, contributing to the city’s burgeoning wine tourism sector.
In addition to viticulture, the tourism industry plays a significant role in Verín’s economy, bolstered by its thermal springs, historical sites, and cultural festivals. The town’s thermal waters, with their reputed healing properties, attract visitors year-round, especially those looking for wellness treatments. Verín also benefits from cross-border trade with Portugal, given its proximity to the international border.
Local craftsmanship, particularly in ceramics and textiles, as well as small-scale agriculture, also contribute to the local economy, maintaining Verín’s connection to its artisanal traditions.
