The extent to which counterurbanization is affecting rural population dynamics in southern Europe is explored using the example of Andalucia, Spain. "The purpose of this paper is to ask, in the context of Andalucia, whether an emergent counterurbanization trend is evident in a traditional area of rural population decline in southern Europe. More broadly, it raises questions about whether the concept counterurbanization helps or hinders our understanding of rural migration."
