Britons in Mojácar, Britons in Spain

The latest figures for Britons registered  on the padrón are now available from the statistics people, over at the INE. 

While there are a lot of Brits in Mojácar, nationally, our numbers have fallen. Here's a few points:

In Mojácar, it appears that there are 2,545 'Europeans' on the padrón (in all, 2,906 foreigners). These are broken down to 1,536 Britons, 124 Germans, 232 Romanians and 167 French (sorry Richard, it doesn't list Ireland), and 3,395 Spaniards. Go here and then to Almería 4.3. Indeed, the British population (at least, those who are entered on the padrón) make up 24,4% of the population of Sin City. As to how many have registered to vote next May 26th, that's still a closely guarded secret in the Town Hall.
Go here for population results across Spain (listed again by nationality). According to these statistics from the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas, Britons resident in Spain have fallen from 240,934 to 223,251. – being a drop of 7.3%. Perhaps the threat of the Brexit is taking its toll.
