Abstract
The paper analyzes the foreign population in Madrid, trying to explain the role played by territory and the recent changes that have increased the processes of dispersion, discontinuity and fragmentation The Madrid urban area has catched the advantages of the economic globalisation and the postmodernism, resulting in the increase of its attractiveness. Immigration has also had a positive impact, its growth being accompanied by an increase in the diversity of origin, travelling along Madrid between new faces and words, we meet thus an increasing multi-ethnic metropolis.
