Fotocasa makes the Balearics the second most expensive region. Madrid tops the list with an average price of 314,250 euros. At the other end of the scale is Extremadura with 96,015 euros.

Director of studies Maria Matos says: "In recent years, the increase in prices has been very significant as a result of the existing imbalance between supply and demand for real estate; and it gets greater all the time. On average, a home in Spain now costs 40,000 euros more than in 2014.

"There are regions where a home is worth 160,000 euros more than ten years ago, as is the case in the Balearics. Unfortunately, this price increase will be the market trend year after year, so long as supply doesn't increase."
