Armenians in Spain refers to ethnic Armenians living in Spain. They number around 40,000, centred in Valencia, Barcelona, and Madrid.[1] Spain was the fourth most popular country of destination for emigrating Armenians in 2011.[2]
There were no Armenian churches in Spain,[1] until one was opened in a small town near Barcelona in August 2009.[3] Most Armenians in Spain belong to the Armenian Apostolic Church.[3] The number of Armenian Sunday schools in Spain is on the rise.[1]
Most Spanish Armenians speak Armenian and Spanish.[1] Much emigration from Armenia following dissolution of the Soviet Union has been directed to the EU, including Spain, along with Russia and the United States.[2]
