The municipality of Castropol has a population of 3696 (INE, 2014).

Eonaviego
Galician–Asturian or Eonavian (autonym: ; ast, eonaviegu, gallego-asturianu; gl, eonaviego, galego-asturiano) is a set of Romance dialects or ''falas'' whose linguistic dominion extends into the zone of Asturias between the Eo River and Navia River (or more specifically the Eo and the Frejulfe River). The dialects have been variously classified as the northeastern varieties of Galician, as a linguistic group of its own, or as a dialect of transition between Galician and Asturian. The set of dialects was traditionally included by linguists as Galician-Portuguese or Galician, with some traits of the neighbouring Astur-Leonese linguistic group. Now, however, there is a political-linguistic conflict on the identity of the language between those who prioritise the mixed identity and those that continue to prioritise the Galician substratum. Supporters of the former, mostly in Asturias, identify Eonavian as part of a dialect continuum between the Asturian and Galician languag ...

The whole municipality has a population of 1,632 inhabitants, whereas there are about 496 inhabitants in the capital town. Etymology Etymologically, it is usually considered that "Boal" comes either from the Indo-european languages, ''*bod-'' ( stream, ditch), or from the Latin, ''bove'' or ''*bovale'' (ox). Although some authors believe that "Boal" could be understood as the expression of an old anthroponym or person name, Bovali (iler) or Baudiliu (adducing the form Baudali), it is common to consider its original meaning either as ''"terreno frecuentado y apropiado para el pasto del ganado vacuno"'' ("land freq ...
