Although the region has long been settled, even pre-dating Roman occupation, the current population of the town are mostly of Basque extraction.

For many pilgrims, the village is the last stopping point before the last day's trek into Santiago de Compostela. The French Way and the Northern Way (Camino del Norte) of the Camino de Santiago meet in Arzúa before arriving in Santiago.
