Ourense has a population of approximately 100,000 people, making it one of the smaller provincial capitals in Spain. The city has a diverse demographic composition, with the majority of its residents being of Spanish descent, though there is also a growing international community, particularly from other European countries and Latin America. The city has a relatively high proportion of older residents, which is typical of many cities in Galicia, but there is also a vibrant student population, thanks to the University of Vigo’s Ourense campus.
