- Researchers studied how the COVID-19 pandemic affected where people move within Spain, focusing on cities and rural areas.
- During the early pandemic, there was a drop of 2.5% in people moving, especially from cities to smaller towns, but things got back to normal by late 2020.
- Although cities lost people and rural areas gained some, these changes were temporary and didn't really change how people usually migrate in Spain.
