Alcalá del Río has a population of approximately 12,000 residents. The city’s demographic is primarily composed of families and older residents, though in recent years there has been a growing influx of younger professionals drawn to its proximity to Seville and more affordable cost of living. The city’s population is predominantly Spanish, with a strong sense of community and cultural pride. However, the town also attracts international visitors and expatriates, particularly those who are seeking a quieter lifestyle while still being close to a major urban center.
