Villalba has a population of approximately 15,000 people, making it a small but lively community. The city has a predominantly local population, with deep roots in Galician traditions and culture. However, in recent years, it has seen a small but growing number of newcomers, including international visitors and expats drawn to its peaceful lifestyle and natural beauty.
The demographic is primarily composed of families and older residents, though younger generations are returning to Villalba to take advantage of its growing tourism and hospitality industries. The city has a warm, close-knit community, where locals take pride in their heritage and are welcoming to visitors.
