Roughly 3 million. Most people who live in Galicia speak it (alongside Spanish), and people who emigrate from Galicia. Despite massive emigration from Galicia to the Americas during the Spanish colonial years and even into the 20th century, there are no significant numbers of Galician speakers in that part of the world because the immigrants found themselves so diluted amongst non-Galician Spanish monolinguals (or Portuguese, English, etc.) that they stopped using Galician after a generation or two (which is pretty much what happens to all immigrant families).

What city in Spain speaks Gallego?

"Most Galicians speak both Castilian Spanish, the national language of Spain, and Gallego, their own official language. Gallego has come into much wider use since Galicia attained the status of an autonomous region after the end of Franco's dictatorial rule. Like Catalan and Castilian, Gallego is a Romance language (one with Latin roots). Gallego and Portuguese were a single language until the fourteenth century, when they began to diverge.
