Abstract: Abstract Since the turn of the century, Spain has received an impressive inflow of immigrants, at approximately an average annual flow of 500,000 between 2002 and 2007, who have been quick to find jobs in the booming economy and integrate within society. The enlargement of the European Union from 15 to 25 countries in 2004, and 27 in 2007, is partly responsible for this booming inflow of migrants. While immigrants from the new-EU12 countries accounted for only 2 % of the total immigration flow into Spain in 2000, they accounted for 9 % in 2004, with their share having remained constant since 2008 at around 16 % of the country’s total immigrant population. Romanians, followed by Bulgarians and Polish, represent the vast majority of enlarged-EU migrants in Spain.
