The extension of agricultural production and the rising importance of tourism are now the basis of the town’s economic development. The most of its 36.800 inhabitants live in the new part of the city, "El Mercadillo", which is divided by an old stone bridge over an impressive river gorge from the old medieval part, called "La Ciudad".
