Indians in Spain form one of the smaller populations of the Indian diaspora. According to the statistics of India's Ministry of External Affairs, they number only 35,000, or 0.07% of the population of Spain.[2] 2009 statistics of Spain's Instituto Nacional de Estadística showed 35,686 Indian citizens in Spain; this figure does not include persons of Indian origin holding other citizenships.[3] Most Indians originally migrated to Spain from Africa, while others came from India and even Japan and Southeast Asia.[4] The overwhelming majority of Indians in Spain live in the Barcelona area (over 26,000 as of 2019).
