Colombians in Madrid
social security registrations in the Madrid region, September 2025.
Colombians are the nationality arriving in Spain in the largest numbers right now: 36,600 people in the last quarter of 2025 alone, according to the national statistics institute. Madrid absorbs a huge share of that. The result is an enormous but very young community, where every week someone lands knowing nobody while someone else has been here three years and already has their circle. Connecting those two halves is exactly the problem raíces solves.
What you will find here
When roots opens, this community will have its own board for asking anything about the city, a member list for whoever wants to be found, and the week’s plans with limited spots: dinners, language exchanges, nights out. And on the dating side you will be able to filter to see only people from this background, or combine it with whichever others you like.
Where this stands
Straight up: roots has not launched yet and this community is forming right now. There are no members or plans to show you, and we are not going to invent a number. What there is, is a waiting list — and whoever gets one of the first spots gets twelve months of full membership free.
