Rafelbuñol’s economy is diverse, with strong contributions from agriculture, manufacturing, and services. Traditionally, the region has been known for its agricultural products, particularly oranges, olives, and almonds, which thrive in the Mediterranean climate. In recent decades, the town has also seen growth in the manufacturing sector, with several small and medium-sized businesses specializing in textiles, ceramics, and food processing.
Tourism, though not the town’s primary industry, plays an increasing role, especially due to its proximity to Valencia and its appeal to those looking for a quieter, more authentic experience of Spain. The local economy is also bolstered by events and festivals that attract visitors from the surrounding region, providing business to local restaurants, shops, and accommodations.
