Although 861 babies were delivered in the new hospital at Torrevieja between the 1st of January to the 31st of August only 44 percent (379) had Spanish mothers.
10.45 percent of the total, (89 ) had Morrocan parents whilst 73 had British parents. Although there are significantly more British citizens in Torrevieja most are probably past child bearing age.
Other countries included Ecuador, Colombia, Rumanía, Brazil, Argentina, Armenia, China, Germany and Algeria. In addition,to which there were children with parents from the Islamic Republic of Iran, Arzebaiyan, India, Honduras and Kirguistán.
So the international makeup of the community is set to remain at least for the next generation.
Footnote:- parents receive 2,500€ for each baby born in Spain as an incentive to stop the population decline. There is some controversy about whether this incentive should only be applied to Spanish nationals.
