Quick answer

What does Most international cities in Spain show?

San Miguel de Abona, Spain has the highest foreign-resident share of the 30 cities compared: 37.4 % (Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE España), 2025-12-31).

How this list is built

Every row is a published foreign-resident share observation measured in %, ranked highest first. The values were observed between 2023 and 2025. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
