Tuineje is a small town with a population of just over 13,000 people, primarily of Canarian descent. The town has maintained its traditional identity while embracing a growing number of international visitors and residents, creating a diverse and welcoming community. Its population is relatively stable, with a mix of families, retirees, and younger people drawn to its peaceful way of life and employment opportunities in agriculture and tourism.
The town has seen modest population growth in recent years, largely due to the increasing appeal of Fuerteventura as a tourist destination. While the majority of residents speak Spanish, the growing international presence means that English and other European languages are increasingly common, especially in areas catering to tourists.
