Andalusia, with a total number of 8.6 million inhabitants, ranked first on the list of most populous autonomous communities in Spain as of January 1st, 2025. The least populated regions of Spain were the two autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, both with a population of under 90,000 inhabitants that year. The population of Spain has been increasing for many years after experiencing a downward trend between 2012 and 2015, and is projected to grow by nearly half a million by 2027. The population of Spain is dying more than being born Spain has one of the lowest fertility rate in the European Union, with barely 1.29 children per woman. According to the most recent data, more people died in Spain than were being born in 2023, with figures reaching over 434,000 deaths versus 320,000 newborns. Immigration countered this trend One of the key points to balance out this population downtrend in Spain is immigration. Spain’s immigration figures finally started to pick up in 2015 after a downward trend that presumably initiated after the 2008 financial crisis. Nevertheless, Spaniards still migrate is much larger numbers than before the crisis. According to the latest data, nationals aged between 25 and 34 years represented the largest bulk of emigrants.

As of June 30, 2023, the share of the Spanish population fully vaccinated against COVID-19 reached 86 percent, while approximately 87.2 percent had received at least one dose. Galicia ranked as the autonomous community with the highest share of the population fully vaccinated, with 91.4 percent. The regions of Castile and Leon and Asturias followed, with around 91.2 percent and 91 percent of people with a complete vaccination scheme against COVID-19.

BackgroundMutations in the TGM1 gene encoding transglutaminase 1 are a major cause of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis. In the Galician (NW Spain) population, three mutations, c.2278C>T, c.1223_1227delACAC and c.984+1G>A, were observed at high frequency, representing ∼46%, ∼21% and ∼13% of all TGM1 gene mutations, respectively. Moreover, these mutations were reported only once outside of Galicia, pointing to the existence of historical episodes of local severe genetic drift in this region. Methodology/Principal FindingsIn order to determine whether these mutations were inherited from a common ancestor in the Galician population, and to estimate the number of generations since their initial appearance, we carried out a haplotype-based analysis by way of genotyping 21 SNPs within and flanking the TGM1 gene and 10 flanking polymorphic microsatellite markers spanning a region of 12 Mb. Two linkage disequilibrium based methods were used to estimate the time to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA), while a Bayesian-based procedure was used to estimate the age of the two mutations. Haplotype reconstruction from unphased genotypes of all members of the affected pedigrees indicated that all carriers for each of the two mutations harbored the same haplotypes, indicating common ancestry. Conclusions/SignificanceIn good agreement with the documentation record and the census, both mutations arose between 2,800–2,900 years ago (y.a.), but their TMRCA was in the range 600–1,290 y.a., pointing to the existence of historical bottlenecks in the region followed by population growth. This demographic scenario finds further support on a Bayesian Coalescent Analysis based on TGM1 haplotypes that allowed estimating the occurrence of a dramatic reduction of effective population size around 900–4,500 y.a. (95% highest posterior density) followed by exponential growth.

In 2023, Asturias, Castilla and León, and Galicia were the Autonomous Communities that reported more than a quarter of their population aged 65 or over. The regions with the lowest reported percentage of elderly people were the Autonomous Communities of Ceuta and Melilla, with **** and **** percent, respectively.

We present the dataset of mills from 1880 and 1920s-1930s in the area of the former Galicia (78,500 km2), now in Ukraine and Poland. We found 4,022 mill locations for 1880 and 3,588 for the 1920s-1930s. We present them as shapefile, GML, GeoJSON, KML formats with attributes for seven types of mills for 1880 and ten types of mills for 1920s-1930s, and mills counted in a 10 km grid.

Our data contains two point layers and six grid layers (10 km side squares). All data is available in an open shapefile, GML, GeoJSON, KML formats, commonly used in Geographic Information Systems. Point layers contain the following attributes for each of the mills: auto-numbered numeric identifier (ID), type (Type), map sheet date (Map_year), longitude (Long), and latitude (Lat). According to the legend of these maps and explanations, the following types of mills can be distinguished for 1880:

1 – Gristmill (ger. Fruchtmühle), 2 – Sawmill (ger. Sägemühle), 3 – Paper mill (ger. Papiermühle), 4 – Powder mill (ger. Pulvermühle), 5 – Fulling mill (ger. Walkmühle), 6 – Windmill (ger. Windmühle), 7 – Ship mill, (ger. Schiffmühle).

For the 1920s-1930s, the following types of mills were distinguished according to the legend of these maps and explanations.

1 – Watermill, 2 – Steam mill, 3 – Sawmill, 4 – Sawmill with water wheel, 5 – Motor sawmill, 6 – Steam sawmill, 7 – Steam mill, 8 – Windmill, 9 – Wind turbine, 10 – Ship mill.

A reference grid designed by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in the ETRS 1989 LAEA projection (EPSG 9820) was used to create the grid layers, consisting of cells with sides of 10 km. In the set we provide, it contains the following attributes: auto-numbered numeric identifier of the cell (FID), cell code (CellCode), east (EofOrigin) and north (NofOrigin) cell start coordinates and an attribute (Count) in which aggregated mill types are counted for each cell: gristmills, sawmills, windmills

The data can be used in economic, demographic and environmental reconstructions, e.g. to estimate historical anthropopressure related to settlement, agriculture and forestry. Mills are often associated with river structures such as floodgates, dams, and millraces and therefore they are a good example of human interference in river ecosystems. They can also be one criteria for identifying areas where the local population used traditional environmental knowledge. It can be useful for a contemporary assessment of the environment’s suitability for devices using renewable energy sources. Finally, the data on the remains of former mills is suitable for the protection of cultural heritage sites that are technical monuments related to traditional food processing and industry.

The Structural Household Survey (SHS) is an annual statistical activity aimed at Galician households in order to obtain information on their socioeconomic characteristics. It consists of two parts: a first one of a general nature that is repeated every year, designed to collect information on basic variables, and a second one of a specific nature. In 2018, one of the specific modules aims to evaluate the use and extension of new technologies in the Galician population.

We evaluate the role of community bonds in the long-term transmission of political values. At the end of WWII, Poland’s borders shifted westward, and the population from the historical region of Galicia (now partly in Ukraine) was displaced to the territory that Poland acquired from Germany. In a quasi-random process some migrants settled in their new villages as a majority group, preserving communal ties, while others ended up in the minority. We leverage this natural experiment of history by surveying the descendants of these Galician migrants. Our research design provides an important empirical test for the theorized effect of communities on long-term value transmission, enabling us to separate the influence of family and community as two competing and complementary mechanisms. We find that respondents in Galicia-majority settlements are today more likely to embrace values associated with Austrian imperial rule and are more similar to respondents whose families avoided displacement.

The number of COVID-19 cases per 100 thousand population in Spain was highest in Navarre. As of March 29, 2022, over 35 thousand infections per 100 thousand population had been recorded in the region. Catalonia, one of the Spanish communities with the highest number of cases reported around 31 thousand infections per 100 thousand people.

The outbreak in Spain Since Spain confirmed its first COVID-19 case in La Gomera, Canary Islands, authorities have reported more than 102 thousand deaths as a result of complications stemming from the disease, with Catalonia accounting for the largest amount. As of March 30, 2022, around 11.55 million cases had been recorded in the European country.

Immunization in Spain As of March 23, 2022, around 88 percent of the population in Spain had received at least one dose of a vaccine against COVID-19. Moreover, approximately 86 percent were already fully vaccinated and close to 52 percent had received a booster. By December 20, 2021 the number of pre-ordered doses of COVID-19 vaccines in the country amounted to 264 million, more than half of which were produced by Pfizer/BioNTech.
