Popis: Since the early part of the 20th century Spain has been a fishing power where expansive and highly competitive industrial fishing has developed and also a country where the traditional fishing on the coast is strategically important for the local population. In Galicia, the great socio-economic importance of fishing, shellfish-gathering and the activities related to the world of the sea is significant, something exceptional in Europe. This is the context in which, since the end of the 20th century, there has been a process of incorporation of migrants to the fishing activity. In 2011, Peruvian nationals were the most numerous foreigners employed by the fishing industry in Galicia. This research aims at making a case study, focused on the small port of Cambados, to analyze the levels of integration of wives of these Peruvian sailors.
