ere are mainly three entr y routes of migratory ows to Europe from the
Mediterranean area: the eastern, central and western routes (Figure ). In
a broad sense, these three routes, or the route they form together, would
make up what is called the Southern Border in the European area. From
the perspective of the Spanish-Moroccan Southern Border, we will focus
our attention on the socio-demographic characteristics of the ows in the
routes of the western Mediterranean.
ese routes had traditionally been travelled by Moroccan and
Algerian citizens who sought to reach France, Italy and Spa in. However, in
recent years the number of Immigrants from West, Central a nd even North-
East Africa has increased.
e  Refugee Agency (), the International Organization
for Migration () and the agency Frontex (a; b) publish maps
that facilitate the task of comparing the importance of each migratory
route to southern Europe, and it is worth reviewing their analyses. In the
data provided by  on the situation of arrival ows in the Mediter-
ranean, there has been a reduction in the arrival of migrants from  to
the present day: ,, in , , in , , in , and ,
to  June, . e western route has traditionally been the least used
of the three Mediterranean ones, but in  this trend began to change.
Since , on the Eastern route (Greece and Cyprus) gures have been
decreasing from , (), , (), , () to , on 
August . In the central route, the trend has reversed in recent years go-
ing from , (), , (), , () to , on  August
