Between 2004 and 2008, Spain was the major country of destination for the Portuguese outflows. Both the 2008 world financial crisis and the Spanish real estate crisis had a huge impact in the Portuguese inflows, due to the fast and intense growth in the unemployment rate. The emigration from Portugal to Spain decreased abruptly in 2008 and, after re-emigration and return, also decreased the number of Portuguese living in Spain. In 2008, Spain ranked just sixth among the major countries of destination for Portuguese emigration.
