Statistics about Spanish diaspora

[Argentano]

I would not count Cuba as diaspora in the decades of 1880 and 1890. These who went to Cuba were soldiers.

That being said there were 250k spaniards in cuba in 1919 which is a lot for a small island

In 1919 it were 49.000, according the graphic you posted.
Well, still is an amazing amount, and in these years the amounts are also fabulous.

It seems we are talking about 2 different things. I said that according to 1919 cuban census. There were 250k spaniards living there.

What you are saying is the number of spaniards that travelled to cuba in that year. They are 2 different things.

It's true that they were a big spanish migration (mainly canarian, and some galicinans and basques) to Venezuela, but almost 85% of them arrived to Caracas and never moved from there. In the rest of the cities there is just a small spanish influence, and like i said first, mainly canarian, that's why Venezuela is considered the last Canarian Island.

How much of the Spaniards who migrated to the New World were Galicians? Almost every Latin Amerrican ethnicity refer to Spaniards as Gallegos

In Venezuela, much more than the half were canarians. In Argentina were galicians and basques. It depends.

Most of family was among them. They arrived from Asturias. Both of my father's paternal grandmothers arrived as children with their families. It was whole families who moved, not just single men.

Edit; I think there were a lot of Gallicians as well, as we have our own Caldo Gallego, with pork used instead of lamb.

True, but according the official census, the largest european group to migrate were canarians by far, and second the sicilians. This is very reflected in Caracas, but this can vary depending the city.
