How many people from Spain live in the Americas?
According to the United Nations, 493,000 people from Spain live in the Americas.
In total, 1,590,000 people from Spain live abroad, and about 31% of them live in the Americas.
However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.
Where to meet people from Spain in the Americas
No community for people from Spain exists in the Americas on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.
As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.
Other diasporas in the Americas
There, the largest diasporas also come from India, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, and the United Kingdom, according to the UN. Each one has its own page on Compatri, with its cities and meetups.
Joining the Spain community in the Americas
Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.
You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.
Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.
Spanish National Day in the Americas
Every October 12, the national day brings the Spain diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
The Spain diaspora elsewhere in the world
Elsewhere, the Spain diaspora also lives in France, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Each country has its own page, with its cities and meetups.
