Today Castellar de la Frontera presents two centers, the old and the new sections separated by a distance of 8 kilometers. This came about when the National Settling Institute built the new section, Nuevo Castellar, in 1971 to re-house its inhabitants into a better, more modern village with modern housing structures, wider streets and avenues, and better and more efficient water and sewage systems. The old Castellar still has a few inhabitants but it’s the Nuevo Castellar settled on the valley at the bank of Guadarranque river that has become the main residential area for its population of over 2,000.
Agriculture and farming are still the main industries in Castellar de la Frontera, with its produce of cork, wheat, sunflowers, hay and cotton as well as natural honey from its beehive farms. With the declaration of nature reserves in the surrounding area, other jobs have been available to town residents.
Within the Castellar municipality, the ranch of La Almoraima can be found. It is a large protected estate that is lush in game from small fowls to deers and the Spanish Ibex. Within the ranch, visitors can engage in hunting, fishing and horseback riding activities. If they wish to spend the night, there is the House Convent La Almoraima that has been converted into a house-hotel for transients.
