Romanians form the second largest group of foreigners in Spain, after Moroccans. As of 2025, there were 609,270 Romanian citizens and 521,181 people born in Romania living in Spain. Most of the immigration took place given economic reasons. The linguistic similarities between Romanian and Spanish, as well as Romanians' Romance identity, are also a reason for the country's attractiveness to Romanians.
