Lumbreras has a modest population, typical of small towns in the Murcia region. With a population of just under 5,000 people, the city is characterized by its close-knit community, where many families have lived for generations. The majority of the population is of Spanish descent, though in recent years there has been a small increase in expatriates, particularly from northern Europe, drawn to the area’s mild climate and relaxed lifestyle.
The town’s population is predominantly middle-aged and elderly, reflecting its appeal as a peaceful retirement destination. However, there is also a younger generation that contributes to the local agricultural and tourism sectors. The community is proud of its traditions and heritage, which are evident in the town’s annual festivals and religious events.
