Vineyards and almond trees of L'Alcalatén

Nature · Costur, L'Alcalatén, Castellón

Agricultural landscape of the L'Alcalatén region, with fields of vineyards, almond trees, olive trees, carob trees and cereals. In the municipal area of Costur, which represents this landscape well, olive and almond groves have gradually gained ground over vines, fig trees and carob trees, crops that for centuries were the basis of the local economy along with livestock farming. Today agriculture has lost weight compared with other activities: most residents of Costur work in the tile factories of neighboring Alcora, although the patchwork of crops still defines the landscape seen when traveling through the region.
