The main economic activity of Guimerà municipality is dry farming (non-irrigated), principally barley and other cereals, but also olives, almonds and grapes.

Guimerà is noted for its well-preserved mediaeval layout and limestone buildings, which are densely clustered together on the hillside, linked by narrow streets, stairways, and tunnels.

[12] Historically, it contained an elaborate altarpiece painted by Ramon de Mur [ca] in the early 15th century, but this artwork is now found in the Espicopal Museum of Vic.

[5] Located 2 km west of the village stands the religious sanctuary of La Bovera, dating from the 13th century, which is still in active use.

[15] The list of architectural heritage monuments maintained by the Generalitat of Catalonia (government) contains 24 structures in Guimerà village and municipality.

[5] The village's major annual festival is that of its patron saint, St. Sebastian, on the weekend nearest to 20 January, his feast day.

[17] Guimerà is the biggest and westernmost settlement on the 23-km-long L-241/T-241/T-224 road which follows the Corb river from Santa Coloma de Queralt to the Tàrrega–Montblanc highway.
