This document discusses mapping ethnic establishments in the Usera neighborhood of Madrid, Spain. It notes that migrants make up 12% of Spain's population, with a large influx of Bolivians starting in 2000. The mapping project looked at establishment name, address, type (e.g. bar, bakery), ethnic markings, and status. The author mapped the latitude and longitude data of establishments to look for patterns in ethnicity distributions, types, and statuses. Maps were created showing Bolivian, Chinese, and both Bolivian and Chinese establishments in the area.
