Argentines in Spain are the largest community of Argentines abroad. In Spain, they form one of the largest immigrant groups in the country. Argentina is considered a country of immigrants, especially during the 20th century, but as a result of political, social and economic problems that hit the country in recent decades, many Argentines chose to emigrate, mainly to other countries in the Americas or countries where their parents and/or grandparents came from (mainly Spain and Italy).
