Image of Yecla, not of the place itself.

Yecla's furniture-making tradition goes back to the early 20th century and took hold in the 1960s and 1970s with the first factories, set up by Pedro Chinchilla Candela and Rafael Azorín Fernández. Today the furniture industry is the municipality's main economic activity.
