Ayamonte has a population of approximately 21,000 people, though this number can swell during the summer months when tourists flock to the city. The population is predominantly Spanish, but the city’s location near the Portuguese border means there is a noticeable Portuguese influence, and many residents are bilingual in Spanish and Portuguese. There is also a growing number of international residents, particularly from northern Europe, who have chosen Ayamonte as a second home due to its favorable climate and relaxed lifestyle.
The city’s demographics are diverse, with a mix of families, retirees, and young professionals. In recent years, Ayamonte has seen population growth due to its increasing popularity as a tourist destination and its appeal to expatriates seeking a coastal lifestyle.
