El Álamo has a population of approximately 9,000 residents, with a mix of young families, professionals, and older generations. In recent years, the town has seen slight growth due to its increasing appeal as a commuter town for those working in Madrid. This has led to a more diverse population, with newcomers adding to the town’s rich social fabric.
The majority of the population is Spanish, but the town has a growing number of expatriates and foreign residents, drawn to its peaceful lifestyle and close proximity to the capital. The town maintains a strong sense of community, with local events and festivals playing a significant role in bringing residents together.
