description From 2007 to 2019, forty-seven thousand women from the Balkans migrated to the Spanish Levant for sex work. As of 2013, seventeen thousand had returned to their countries of origin with a combined capital of 6.8 billion euros. Five women, among whom the Albanian Archangella, known as Sardinella, describe their investments in hotels, beauty salons, and agriculture, after an average six-year stay. These testimonies intersect with the analysis carried out by the author since 1987 on the construction of poor-to-poor movement and trade networks in the Euro-Mediterranean area. When these women tell their stories, they describe their movements, controlled by criminal and mafia organizations, then their return to their countries of origin, and their investments there, giving rise to a paradoxical development model.
