Berja is a small city with a population of approximately 12,000 residents. The population is predominantly Spanish, with a mix of different age groups contributing to the town’s dynamic atmosphere. Although it retains its traditional Andalusian charm, Berja has seen a modest increase in population in recent years, partly due to its growing appeal as a tourist destination and the presence of agricultural work opportunities.
While the majority of the population is Spanish, there is a small but growing community of expatriates, especially from other European countries, who have chosen Berja for its quiet lifestyle and proximity to nature. The town’s demographics reflect a blend of rural and urban lifestyles, with a strong emphasis on community and family-oriented values.
