Tineo is home to approximately 10,000 residents, with a population that is predominantly Spanish, though there is a growing number of international residents who have been attracted by the town’s natural beauty and tranquility. The town has a relatively balanced demographic distribution, with a mix of young families, professionals, and older residents who maintain traditional ways of life.
Like many rural areas in Spain, Tineo has seen a slight decline in population over the past few decades as younger generations move to larger cities for work opportunities. However, efforts to promote tourism and improve infrastructure have helped to stabilize the population in recent years, attracting new residents interested in rural living.
