Economy

The agricultural sector is still what draws the most numbers of jobs in La Baronia. A country with blueprints^{[clarification needed]} irrigated, highly arable lands, with a level of approximately 400 m to over 800 m altitude of usable land is suitable for a wide variety of crops. However, since a few years ago, the tourism sector is becoming the economic boost that the valley needed. In fact, there are currently available a two dozen agritourist establishments.
