La Cañada de Verich has traditionally lived from livestock farming and agriculture. The usual crops in the area are olives and cereals. As a result of the great frost that took place in 1956, which destroyed most of the olive trees, almond tree cultivation spread throughout the area. The mining activity in this town is also noteworthy.

Its main monument is the parish church of San Blas, which is reported as early as 1324. It is a construction in the usual Gothic style in the area, much modified at the end of the 16th century.
