<p>One of the significant consequences of the prolonged economic and political instability—along with social unrest since the 2008 crisis—has been the increase in emigration and return flows of young people from Southern European countries, such as Spain, to Central-Northern European countries. This qualitative study analyses information collected from 63 semistructured in-depth interviews with young Spanish returnees from other European countries conducted since 2015. This paper focuses on the importance of family and the contrast perceived by young Spaniards between traditional family values (support and care) in Spanish society versus those values in host societies. The findings indicate that, for young Spaniards, both nuclear and extended families (i) play a crucial role in decision-making about migration projects and (ii) are the main reason for their return. Furthermore, the cultural distance regarding the perceived value of the family in both societies—origin and destination—acts as a moderating factor in the intention to settle in the host country.</p>
