La Oliva is the municipality that has grown the most in terms of population in the last decade
The island of Fuerteventura, in addition, the one that grows the most in percentage terms in the entire archipelago

 In the last decade - The island of Tenerife continues to be the most populated island with 927,993 inhabitants, followed by Gran Canaria with 852,688, Lanzarote with 156,189, Fuerteventura with 119,662, La Palma with 83,380, La Gomera with 21,734 and El Hierro with 11,298.

 The Majorera capital, Puerto del Rosario, is placed with 41,786 inhabitants, 15.16% more than in 2012, La Oliva, which grows 15.32% in relation to the previous decade, is placed with 27,768 inhabitants. The growth of the municipality of Antigua with a 14.42% growth and Tuineje with a 14.20% also experience strong
