Palma del Río has a population of around 21,000 people, with a relatively young demographic profile. The majority of the population is of Spanish origin, though in recent years, the city has seen an increase in international residents, particularly from other parts of Europe and Latin America. The city maintains a close-knit, community-oriented feel, with many families having lived in the area for generations.
Despite its relatively small size, Palma del Río is growing steadily, driven by its agricultural sector and its emerging role as a cultural and tourist destination in Andalusia.
