The village of Vinyols i els Arcs has always been an agricultural village. The peasants of the village have always been worried about the new techniques that could improve their wealth, and introduced the irrigation system into the unirrigated lands. The village was the first in growing the peach trees that had come from America. In the present, it is the most important crop, although there are some hazel and olive trees.

Almost everybody in there uses the system of located irrigation, called "gota a gota".
