In 2024, Spain received a total of 63,970 migrants through irregular routes, with a significant portion, 46,843, arriving via the perilous Atlantic migration route.
The Atlantic route, known for its dangers and high mortality rate, accounted for a 19 percent increase in crossings, highlighting ongoing migratory pressures from regions like Mali and Senegal.
A report noted that the number of migrant deaths attempting to reach Spain by sea has surged by 50 percent in 2024, citing unsafe travel conditions as a contributing factor.
