Local Economy
Economic activity in this region has historically been based on agriculture, in particular the cultivation of grains, although this activity is now in decline. Construction, public works projects, and services are booming due to Osorna la Mayor's proximity to two highways (Burgos-León and Palencia-Santander) that pass nearby and the rail lines that follow the same route. The municipality also has an industrial park which drives significant economic activity.
