This paper analyses the situation of refugees arriving in Catalonia (Spain). In particular, it focuses on the link that food has with various factors related to reception. To this aim, data on the migratory movement in Europe are presented, as well as details of the refugee's state of health and an explanation of the nutritional support networks in Catalonia. This research seeks to encompass information in order to understand the lights and shadows of integration and to elucidate the role of food in it. To this end, attention is paid to cultural, bioethical and social nuances that build the foundations of adaptation. Copyright © 2019 Laila Vivas
