One main feature of the town other than its agricultural aspects is the Airport located on the edge of the surban area of the town.

The town centre consists of a church and central plaza with water fountain, with all surban areas emminating from this point.

The town hosts a vegetable and sweet market every Monday morning which is the major social focal point for the residents who preside there once a week.
