There are were no Armenian churches in Spain,[1] until one was opened in a small town near Barcelona in August 2009.[3] Most Armenians in Spain belong to the Armenian Apostolic Church.[3] The number of Armenian Sunday schools in Spain is on the rise.[1]

Most Spanish Armenians speak Armenian, Spanish, Persian, and Arabic.[1] Much emigration from Armenia following dissolution of the Soviet Union has been directed to the EU, including Spain, along with Russia and the United States.[2]
