Summary/Abstract: Since the second half of the 20 century, following the political movements of purge practiced by the new regime installed in Bucharest, a part of the intellectuals with right wing views, took refuge in the West. One of the countries chosen because of the political regime was Spain. So, from the ’50 the community was not very numerous but active in cultural and religious terms. After 1989 and especially with the granting of Schengen visas, the community in Spain will grow considerably, reaching a number of about one million Romanians, the second largest in Europe after the community in Italy. In the context of an increasingly unclear prospect of returning to the country, a cultural and religious organization takes place in order to preserve the cultural and religious identity.
