WELCOME ALL

It took Spain over a thousand years to reach a population of just over 40 million. In less than four years the population is now reaching 45 million, those 5 million are non Spanish. Unemployment in Spain still hovers around 10%. The number of immigrants in Spain rose to the equivalent of 8.5 percent of the total population as of January 1. 2005, according to figures released by the National Statistics Institute (INE). The largest immigrant group hails from Equador with 475,698 residents, followed by Morocco with 420, 556, Columbia with 248,894. Romania with 207,960. The Center for Sociological Research (CIS) released a survey showing that three out of every five Spaniards responded that there are too many immigrants in Spain.
