Cee
Cee is a small municipality on the Costa da Morte with around seven and a half thousand residents. It sits at the head of the Corcubión inlet next to Fisterra. It serves as the centre for the whole area: the district hospital, the schools and the shops people drive to from the villages nearby.
For anyone moving that detail matters. On the Costa da Morte the distance to a doctor is measured in hours rather than minutes, and Cee is one of the few points where the hospital is on the spot. Housing is very cheap even by Galician standards. The climate is the coast's: rain all year, ocean wind, a cold sea. There is little tourism, and the town lives on its own people rather than on a season.
- Fisterra · 12 km — the cape, the lighthouse and the end of the earth
- Corcubión · 3 km — the old town in the same inlet
- Carballo · 55 km — the district centre on the road to A Coruña
Cee sits in Fisterra, A Coruña, right on the water. Winters are damp at 81% humidity, so ask about mould before you sign. Summers are packed: tourist load hits 5 out of 5 at the peak against 1 in winter. A small town of 7,731: for anything beyond groceries you will be driving.

Cee beaches and water quality
sourceCee has 2 beaches tested under EU bathing water rules, at 2 sampling points. In the 2025 season, all 2 were graded excellent. The last “poor” grade here was in 2018: Playa Lires.
The grade is bacteria in water samples over the last four seasons — not sand, views or crowds. “Poor” means bathing there is advised against.
| Beach | From the centre | Grade 2025 | “Excellent” in a row | Last “poor” |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Playa Estorde | 2.7 km | excellent | 8 seasons | 2017 |
| Playa Gures | 6.7 km | excellent | 16 seasons | none since 2004 |
No longer tested: Playa A Concha - Cee (last season 2015), Playa Lires (last season 2018).

What tenants actually pay
sourcedThis is the median rent on active leases — tax records for 2024, a sample of 323 leases. It includes long-standing contracts at unchanged rents, so it sits below what is asked today: our estimate of asking rent is 450 € for a two-bedroom.
The point of the 75th percentile: it is closer to what is being signed now than the median. The gap between them shows how much a new tenant overpays relative to long-standing ones.

Rent by number of bedrooms
asking price, estimate| 1 bedroom | 350 €/mo | |
| 2 bedrooms | 450 €/mo | |
| 3 bedrooms | ≈ 590 €/mo | model: two-bed × 1.3, no measurement yet |
| Median of active leases, 2024 | 320 €/mo | SERPAVI · 93 m² |
Asking prices are what long lets are advertised at today; the registry is what tenants pay on signed leases, including old ones. The gap between them is your negotiating argument.

Renting without a Spanish contract
How realistic a long lease is without a nómina — on foreign income, savings or prepayment.
- —5.5% foreign residents — the market is built for locals with a contract
This is our model, not a measurement: demanding a nómina is an individual landlord's practice and nobody publishes it. The rating is derived from the share of foreign residents, the presence of a community with services, price growth, seasonality of the stock and the size of the town.

- Seven mistakes people make moving to coastal SpainEvery mistake counted across 132 coastal places: how many empty out in winter, where it is damp, where a car is unavoidable and where the sea is warm for three months.
- What a month on the Spanish coast costs, town by townOne identical scenario costed across all 132 places. The spread between towns is wider than between countries, and nearly as wide within a single coast.
- Which coastal towns are actually alive in winterMost resorts shut down from November to March. Tourists never notice; people moving there notice everything — and no directory measures it.
- Retiring to coastal Spain: who already lives there, how far the hospital is, and whether the town stays open in winterThe share of residents over 65 and over 80 in every place we cover, from the INE census, the drive to the nearest public hospital, and the measured winter score. No ranking: only what the numbers show.
- Where property is cheapest on the Spanish coast, on a single price basisThe housing ministry's appraised value, ranked by coast and by town, with the price of a 70 m² flat and local incomes alongside. Asking prices get a list of their own: the two bases never share a ranking.
