Canteras is a small town with a population of approximately 2,000 residents, offering a peaceful and close-knit community atmosphere. The population is predominantly Spanish, though in recent years, the town has seen an influx of expats from other European countries, particularly the UK and Germany, contributing to a slight increase in cultural diversity.
Despite its modest size, Canteras has a vibrant community, with many young families as well as older residents who maintain the town’s rich traditions. The demographic trends in the area have remained stable, though there is a noticeable increase in tourism-related employment, as more visitors discover this hidden gem in Murcia.
