%X in this article on the social processes of integration in adolescents and youth, we describe and explain the factors which, in a representative sample of 413 immigrant adolescents in huelva, spain, are linked to having a sense of belonging to spain. approximately fifty percent of those interviewed reported a sense of belonging to spain, although the degree of belonging to this country was lower or non-existent in other cases. this paper attempts to delimit the elements that largely explain the degree of the sense of belonging to a country, which is crucial to understanding the processes of identificative integration. we found several variables linked to the sense of belonging to spain: life satisfaction, structural opportunities perceived in spain, orientation towards the spanish language (monolingual or bilingual), multiple territorial identification, participation in spanish celebrations and activities, and trust in spanish people.
