During the second half of the 20th century the economy of the town was based on coal mining, but in the 1980s many mines were closed and the economy is now based mainly on tourism, agriculture (fruit and wine), wind power generation and slate mining. Important factors contributing to the recent boom of the tourism industry are the increasing popularity of the Way of St. James (Spanish: Camino de Santiago - a pilgrimage route that goes from France to Santiago de Compostela, Galicia), the designation in 1997 of the nearby ancient Roman gold mines of 'Las Médulas as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the development of rural tourism lodging and wineries in the area.

The city is noted for the Castillo de Los Templarios, a Templar castle which covers approximately 16,000 square metres.
