Villarrasa

Villarrasa stands some 36 km from Huelva, and belongs to the judicial district of La Palma del Condado, covering an area of 71.8 km2 and with a population of 2082 according to official figures from 01.01.1998.

The main industry is agriculture, particularly growing wheat, vineyards and olive groves. There are currently two types of agriculture: the traditional rainfed type, and intensively irrigated, recently introduced, for fruits such as kiwi and orange.

The industrial sector includes two metal, and three wood workshops, a small pre-cooked products industry, and "agribusiness" companies in the South.

On the outskirts a necropolis has been found from before the Christian era.

Its history is linked to the county of Niebla.
