This growth has been concentrated in its entirety in the population of Spanish nationality;
while the foreign population has seen the downward trend followed in recent years, and remains at a value almost identical to 2016, increasing people from the rest of Europe, Africa and Asia, to the detriment of those from the American continent .
In this way, the increase in the population figure has come in two ways: through the natural growth of the population (greater number of births versus deaths) and internal migratory movements.
