In line with the advances in the analysis of migration processes and other phenomena of human mobility, thanks to the contributions of theoretical and methodological framework of transnationalism, we intend to make a brief presentation on the specifities of the Cuban case in Spain. As we will have the opportunity to discuss later, one of the peculiarities of Cuban migration is the multitude of obstacles and constraints that the Cuban State imposes on the transnational movement of its citizens. These bureaucratic and political restrictions are a reality inseparable from the design that people make of their migratory project.
