About agriculture in Valdastillas
Located in the picturesque Jerte Valley within the province of Cáceres, Valdastillas is surrounded by the Sierra de Gredos foothills. The landscape is characterized by steep terraces carved into the mountainsides and the flowing waters of the Jerte River, creating a microclimate ideal for temperate fruit production.
The primary agricultural focus here is the world-renowned Jerte cherry, particularly the "Picota" variety. Farmers also manage extensive groves of olive trees and chestnuts on the higher slopes. Small-scale livestock farming, primarily goats and sheep, is integrated into the local land management to maintain the mountain pastures.
Farm workers can expect a surge in demand during the cherry harvest season, typically from May to late July. Agronomists will find opportunities in managing pest control and irrigation for high-density fruit orchards. The terrain requires physical stamina as much of the work involves navigating steep, terraced landscapes.
