Las Cabezas de San Juan is home to approximately 16,000 residents, making it a small but vibrant community. The population is predominantly Spanish, with a strong Andalusian identity that influences the local culture, language, and traditions. While the city has a predominantly rural character, there is a growing trend of younger generations moving back from larger cities to capitalize on new opportunities in tourism and small businesses.
The city has also seen a modest increase in international residents, particularly from other European countries, who are drawn by the region’s climate, lifestyle, and lower cost of living compared to larger Spanish cities. This diversity adds to the cultural richness of the area.
