How many arrive per day?

The honest answer to the most searched question: there is no daily figure, and this is as close as it gets.

Interior data up to 31 October 2026 · next report: cut-off 15 November 2026 · Frontex up to August 2026

First things first. No official body publishes how many people arrive in Spain each day. The Ministry of the Interior publishes, every fortnight, a cumulative total from 1 January. Any “today” figure you see elsewhere is an estimate or an invention. What does exist is the daily average of a closed period, and that is what you will find here.

Average = arrivals in the period divided by its days.

Why there is no daily figure

Arrivals are recorded at each point of entry (a port in the Canaries, the Ceuta fence, a beach in Almería) and consolidated into a provisional report every fortnight. Media sometimes report a specific day when the coastguard or a government delegation announces a rescue, but that is not a series: those are isolated events.

That is why this site has no counter. It has the average of the latest closed fortnight, always labelled as an average and never as “today”.
