Logrosán is a municipality of province of Cáceres in Extremadura, Spain. Head of administrative area, commercial subarea of Don Benito-Villanueva. Town of certain entity in the first half of the 20th century (it overcame 8.000 inhabitants) with stately houses that speak to us about a past of major explendor. Population of big mining importance between the 19th and 20th centuries, today has lost both the mining and the identity of ancient mining people.GeographyGeographically Logrosán one finds placed in the south - oriental end of the province, in the door of the cotogether one of mountain named " The Villuercas " belonging to the mountain range " mounts of Toledo ". Cristobal places the locality on the base of a granitic batolito so called " hill of san " outcropped over the surface in the quaternary one with all probability. Separate Batolito, predominates over the ancient materials, with alternacia between quartzites and slates that outcrop sometimes over the soil provoking interesting sceneries apalachenses.Natural Way of the Vegas of the Guadiana ends here.EconomyEconomically it is a question of a depressed locality, at a scarce productive level and one it rents much underneath of the average of the region. They predominate over the primary and tertiary sectors. The farms are extensive, of scarce productiveness both in profitability and in creation of jobs. Industry does not exist any partner to this sector. The tertiary sector belongs especially to services of the administration, commerce and catering business. In spite of this poor situation, we can consider it to be the head of the region; fundamentally for being provided with certain regional services of the regional and educational administration, not for offering to the zone a point of commercial, sanitary reference not in no other aspect.
