El Sauzal is a relatively small town with a population of around 9,000 people. The majority of the population is of Spanish descent, although the town’s location within the Canary Islands means there is also a notable mix of influences from mainland Spain, North Africa, and Latin America. Over the years, El Sauzal has become increasingly popular with expats, particularly those from Northern Europe seeking a quieter lifestyle in a warmer climate.
The town’s population is mostly older, as many younger residents move to larger cities for work or education. However, in recent years, there has been a growing trend of younger families and professionals relocating to El Sauzal, drawn by its peaceful atmosphere, beautiful landscapes, and excellent quality of life.
