The village square surrounds a fresh water fountain and a multitude of restaurants, other popular attractions comprise of the wine museum and the view point at the entrance to the village which offers unrivalled panoramic views of the coastline.

A relatively affluent history surrounds Ojen due to its famed production of aguardiente, the renowned anise liqueur.
