The paper traces the migratory displacements lived by Brazilian capoeiristas until they arrive in Madrid, illustrating how the dynamics of sociability that have their origin in these personal migratory routes delimitate the existence of a transnational migratory net. To reach this objective, I will start by defining the discussion over the transnationalism concept, and over the notion of migrant transnational network. I will then analyze the particularities of the Brazilian migration to Southern Europe, and define - backing in the capoeiristas life histories - the specificities of the capoeira social nets in Madrid. Finally, in the concluding remarks, I will summarize some findings, as well as the new issues lighted by the study.
