Resum
The profound changes that affected Cuban economy and society as from the end of the 18th century had direct repercussions on the emigration from the metropolis to the "Pearl of the Antilles". Inscribed within tthis framework is the considerable emigration from the Canary Islands as a response to and symptom of the economic crisis experienced in the Canary Islands at that time. This article analyzes the main characteristics of that emigration as well as the internal and external factors that conditioned it throughout the first half of the 19th century and which entail some points which differentiate it from peninsular emigration.
