The village is part of the DO Monstant wine-growing area, but also produces almonds, peaches and olive oil. Typical dishes include “cóc ràpid” (sponge cake), “coques” (flatbread), “escalivada” (roasted pepper and aubergine) and “truita amb suc” (omelette in sauce).

The main village festivity is held on 6th August at the chapel of Sant Salvador, outside the village.

St. Michael's day is celebrated on 29th September.
