Cuenca has a population of approximately 55,000 people. While it is a relatively small city, its historical significance and growing tourism industry bring a diverse mix of visitors and residents. The local population is predominantly Spanish, though the increasing tourism sector has led to greater cultural diversity, with many people from other parts of Spain and abroad moving to the area.
Cuenca’s demographic trends reflect the overall trends in rural Spain, with an aging population and younger generations often moving to larger cities for work opportunities. However, the rise in eco-tourism and cultural events has helped to revitalize the city in recent years, bringing in new residents and business opportunities.
