Sikhs in Spain are a minority religion group. The Sikh community in Spain is a small but fast growing group. According to the latest available data, there are estimated to be around 26,000 Sikhs living in the country.[1] The Sikh population in Spain has grown over the years, with many Sikhs migrating to the country for agricultural work, construction work or to start their own businesses.[2]
Sikhism in Spain dates back to the 1980s, where many Sikhs migrated as a result of relaxed immigration policies and labour shortages.
