The demographic profile of the town is typical of many rural Andalusian towns, with a mix of families, agricultural workers, and small business owners.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the diversity of Almonte’s population, particularly with the influx of seasonal workers who come to work in the region’s agricultural sector.
