As a result, a canning industry has developed.Due to the high demand for personnel to work at sea, Burela is a multicultural town which has a large number of residents from Cape Verde and has recently had an influx of immigrants from Peru, Indonesia, and other places. The population grew considerably in the latter part of the twentieth century.HistoryThe history of Burela dates to pre-Roman times. The oldest evidence of people found in the area was a fort at the end of the cape.
