description This article describes the practice of circular migration from the Sahrawi refugee camps in Tindouf (Algeria) to Spain with the aim to work in the Balearic Islands’ hospitality industry. This migration provides financial support for the family living in the camps, providing enough vacation time to spend with relatives living there. Young migrants aim to legalise their stay and work in Spain as soon as possible, most often through the status of stateless person. This has, however, a precarisation effect on their legal situation compared to citizenship.
