    Romanians form the second largest group of foreigners in Spain, after Moroccans. As of 2023, there were 630,795 Romanian citizens living in Spain. Most of the immigration took place given economic reasons. The linguistic similarities between Romanian and Spanish, as well as Romanians' Latin identity, are also a reason for the country's attractiveness to Romanians.
