Immigrant workers leave struggling Spain...

For Laura Dominguez, nothing tastes more like home more than mate tea and dulce de leche, both typically Argentine flavors that she missed during the eight years she lived in Spain.

In June, Dominguez, 36, moved back to Argentina because the economic situation in Spain was so dire that she didn't see strong prospects there for herself or her three young daughters.

Dominguez worked as a waitress in the beach resort town of Blanes in the Cataluña region. She says tourism there has dropped considerably in recent years, compared to when she first arrived in 2003 and could count on five steady months of restaurant work.

"I had a job, and I was one of the lucky few. Almost everyone I knew in Spain was unemployed," says Dominguez. Full story...

Don't miss:
  1. Spain is broke, but Pope to get expensive and lavish welcome...
  2. Voting in Spain can give you an orgasm!!!
  3. Jobless Spaniards selling kidneys...
  4. Young Germans getting caught in the debt trap...
  5. More people seeking food handouts in Britain...
  6. New generations in Europe tipping into homelessness...
