According to Fotocasa, the most expensive neighbourhoods in Spain are four times the price of land of the national average, which stands at 2,113 euros per square metre, where Madrid and Barcelona are once again the most expensive cities in the country to buy a home.

The Director of Studies at Fotocasa, María Matos, said that the price of housing has risen at a “very fast” rate in the last year, due to the acceleration of the demand for purchase, which has caused the most local markets to present “very significant and double-digit” increases, very similar to the spike suffered in prices in 2006, prior to the housing bubble.

The rise in some Spanish neighbourhoods is in some municipalities more than 30 percent year-on-year and is mainly concentrated in municipalities with a mild climate and sea, such as Almeria, Malaga and Palma.
