Llanera has a population of around 14,000 people, making it a small but vibrant community. The majority of the population is of Spanish descent, but in recent years, there has been a gradual increase in diversity, with some international residents moving to the town due to its growing economic opportunities. The town’s demographics reflect its agricultural heritage, with many families having deep roots in the area.
The population is spread across several small villages and rural hamlets, giving Llanera a distinctly rural character. However, the town’s location near Oviedo and Gijón also attracts commuters who prefer to live in a quieter setting while working in the nearby cities. This mix of rural and urban lifestyles contributes to Llanera’s unique community atmosphere.
