Zusammenfassung

Remote rural areas experiencing a process of population decrease are very vulnerable and sensitive to population movement: out-migration of local people as well as the arrival of new residents. This article explores the impact of the 2008 crisis on pro-rural migration patterns towards this type of rural areas. In order to do that, the case of Las Batuecas-Sierra de Francia, in Salamanca, has been analised. Fieldwork was qualitative in nature, and it consisted of a series of semi-structured interviews conducted to key informants and new residents. The analysis of the interviews allows us to observe the impact of the crisis in a double way. On the one hand, a pro-rural migration forced by the crisis as the last strategy to overcome the crisis. On the other, a pro-rural migration resembling a kind of amenity migration. In this case, new residents found in the crisis the incentive to set in motion a dormant dream.
