This article analyzes the new trend of Spanish emigration to France since the economic crisis of 2008. This intra-European migration is characterized by two ideal types: native individuals and emigrants with a migratory past (onward migrants or descendants). These two groups are compared herein as regards their different migratory projects and their stages, in order to understand both the commonalities and differences in the different stages of the migratory cycle. The departure of the natives is less motivated by the economic crisis, and this group is characterized by its youth, its high level of qualification, and mainly, its temporality. The re-migration to France is justified by a greater economic precariousness caused by the economic crisis, and is characterized by their more advanced age, by an average educational level, and finally, by the adaptation of their project to the economic situation in Spain and France. The research is based on empirical data obtained during qualitative fieldwork carried out in France.
