El Puerto de Santa María has a population of approximately 90,000 residents, with a diverse demographic makeup that includes both locals and a growing number of international residents. The city’s population swells during the summer months as tourists flock to its beaches and festivals, significantly boosting the local economy.
The majority of the population is Spanish, but in recent years, the city has attracted expatriates, particularly from other parts of Europe, due to its pleasant climate, relaxed lifestyle, and relatively affordable cost of living. The city’s population is predominantly middle-aged, though younger demographics are also drawn to the area, thanks to its increasing job opportunities in tourism and hospitality.
