Abstract
In this paper we analyse the differences in well-being between Spanish municipalities reflected by people’s migratory decisions. It is assumed that people move for improving their well-being conditions and consequently migratory flows basically reflect perceived differences in the quality of life between potential destinations. Our empirical findings are: first, municipalities in the Mediterranean Axis are perceived as those with the highest quality of life; second, we detect a general process of convergence in quality of life conditions among the Spanish municipalities in the last 15 years; third, estimated levels of quality of life are inversely related to urban size; and, fourth, people perceive nearby destinations as the most attractive places to move to.
