Abstract


The recent Spanish emigration to Europe has been more diverse than the image that has been built from the political, media and even academic level. The figure of the young man with higher education who builds his migration project in a global city has been able to make other profiles invisible as young people with less studies and no previous migration experience. Within the framework of the new paradigms on mobility, more marked by circularity and with stages that can take place in various places, mobility capital is a tool that can illustrate these dynamics and diversity. The objective of this article is to address how, in space and time, mobility capital has been generated among people who have emigrated from Spain in recent years to one of its main destinations, Germany, from a series of semi-structured interviews with young emigrants after 2008.
