Trujillo is a small city with a population of around 9,000 people, giving it a close-knit community feel while still offering plenty for visitors. The population is predominantly Spanish, with a strong cultural connection to the heritage of Extremadura. While the city is not heavily international, tourism and the influx of visitors during festivals bring a diverse range of people to Trujillo throughout the year.
The demographics of Trujillo reflect the aging population trend common in rural parts of Spain, though recent efforts to promote tourism and rural development have attracted younger residents and entrepreneurs. The city’s appeal to tourists has also led to a small but growing number of expatriates who are drawn to its tranquil lifestyle and rich history.
