Abstract

The article faces up to the question of international migration of the MINA's sub-Saharans who in small fishing boats try to reach the Canary coasts and thus enter the EU. After an initial putting of the phenomenon into context within the African waves of immigrants towards Spain, the article presents the main social and migratory characteristics of these unaccompanied minors toend up underlying some of the most important and necessary lines of intervention on the question.
