La comunidad polaca en España

Un colectivo particular

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to offer an overview of the Polish migration to Spain. Based on
different ethnographic field works, I will try to show the singularity of this group compared to other
migrants in Spain: their European origin, their best position in the ethnic scale of the Spanish
population imagery, and, last but not least, the difference introduced by the forthcoming integration
of Polland in the UE. Polish migrants are described through the analysis of their migratory culture
and experience, administrative situation in Spain, social networks, sociodemographic profile,
cultural practices and ethnic relationships.
