The Multiple Faces Of Spain s Shifting Immigration Map Walking past a closed Chinese shop in Madrid s Usera district - Jorge Sanz/SOPA Images/ZUMA       From Moroccan migrants to British pensioners, Spain has plenty of foreign-born residents. Each group differs, however, in terms of where and how they concentrate upon arrival. BARCELONA Mare Nostrum Avenue in Almería, a mid-sized city in southern Spain, is a dividing line between two realities. On one side, half the residents were born in Morocco; on the other, more than 98% of the population are native Spaniards. Likewise, the city center of Mazarrón, an hour-and-a-half drive up the coast, has little in common wth the surrounding suburbs, an expanse of detached homes where 60% of residents are British. And then there s Madrid s Usera neighborhood, which has developed a distinctly Asian profile: It s now home to 25% of the capital s registered Chinese residents.
