Summary/Abstract: In order to measure to what extent mobility is affecting immigrants' identity, the premises of the article include the identity of immigrants within the enlarged Europe. The aim of the present submission is to present the human condition of Rumanian and Bulgarian immigrants in Spain, specifically by examining how they interact with the communities in which they live. This will be done by analyzing how immigrants see their own experiences at work and how they regard the Spanish and their own fellow citizens, as well as how they compare themselves with other nationalities. Study will also be made of the identittary features of the immigrants and the host country´s perception of these immigrants by looking at the images of their group reflected in the media.
