Where people are entering Spain

The five irregular entry routes, with the actual volume of each one in the period you choose. Ministry of the Interior data, no estimates.

The Spanish Ministry of the Interior has not published a new figure for Ceuta since its report of 31 August 2026, 20 days ago. Its latest report repeats the same cumulative total (4,076) and the Ceuta page of that report is still dated that day, while the rest is up to date. That is why Ceuta is shown as no data rather than zero: a zero would mean nobody arrived, and that is not known.

What this map is not. The weight of each line is the number of arrivals recorded at the destination by the Ministry of the Interior. The origin is the documented departure area for each route, not a measured figure. There is no daily counter because no daily figure exists: the Ministry publishes every fortnight, cumulative from 1 January.
