Karina Nuvo, feeling overwhelmed by personal and professional challenges in Southern California, made the decision to relocate to Spain in May 2024. After 32 years of pursuing her music career and dealing with pressures from caregiving and a stressful job, along with political tensions in the US, she turned to her father's roots in Spain for a fresh start. With eligibility for citizenship through the ley de nietos, which allows descendants of Spaniards to reclaim their citizenship, Nuvo saw this as an opportunity to seek a different, more fulfilling life.
"By May 2024, with the political climate in the US on tenterhooks again as Donald Trump's presidential campaign swung into full tilt, Nuvo says it all just felt like too much."
"I made a decision that I was leaving, that I was going to Europe. The job stress was what pushed my situation, but also politically I just couldn't fathom what was coming."
"Novo was born in Camaguey, Cuba, and came to the United States for a better life at the age of 21. But his father was born in Spain, which entitled both him and his children to pursue citizenship through the ley de nietos."
"Nuvo's father, Jose Novo, reminded her that they'd always had a way out, a path to try living a different kind of life in Spain, since they were able to apply for citizenship in that country."
