Sources: Emigration from Spain during the period of early migration is from Nadal (1984) and Garcia Fernandez (1965). It is computed as the sum of emigration to America based on passengers on ships and planes and emigration to Europe based on destination countries’ statistics population in that period is from census data 1960 and 1970. The years in between are the result of a geometric interpolation immigration from municipal registers (Estadística de Variaciones Residenciales). Emigration from municipal registers (Estadística de Variaciones Residenciales) until 2007 and Estadística de migraciones since 2008 Population since 1996 comes from municipal registers (Padron Continuo)
