The most densely populated cities in Galicia pack the most residents per square mile, creating vibrant urban environments with walkable neighborhoods and extensive public transit. A Coruña leads with 13,464 people per square mile.

High population density is often associated with better access to public transportation, more walkable streets, and a wider variety of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options within close proximity. These cities tend to have lower car ownership rates and shorter commute distances.
