The countryside of Navas de San Juan, like the rest of the district, is dominated by olive trees, although there are also areas of cereals. The non-farmed lands are grasslands used as grazing land for cattle. The town’s pig and poultry farming is also important for the province.

The local economy is mainly based on olives, with livestock and hunting some way behind. Recently, pistachios have begun to be introduced as an alternative revenue stream. Highlights of the town’s cultural heritage include the Ermita de la Virgen de la Estrella (Chapel of the Virgin of the Star) and the Iglesia de San Juan Bautista (Church of Saint John the Baptist).
