Articles that include this coast
- 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.
- Winter sun in Spain: 30 towns that stay open all winterWinter-sun lists usually rank the weather. This one ranks what stays open: January against the summer peak from Spain's social security data, plus sea months, rent and the drive to the airport.
- The coast without a carA resort stretched along a highway and an old port with a dense centre are different ways of living. Size is not what separates them.
- Who already lives there — and why it is not about neighboursA headcount of compatriots and a doctor and lawyer who speak your language are different things. A move runs into the second.
- Which sea is Spain on? The Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay — and how warm each getsThe limits of each sea from the International Hydrographic Organization, the sea of every coast worked out from our places' coordinates, and the water temperature month by month, from the Canaries to the Costa Brava.
- Renting long-term on the Spanish coast: what the law says and what tenants payThe five-year renewal and the seasonal lease, article by article. And what tenants on each coast pay under live leases: from tax records, not listings.
Median rather than mean: a single expensive spot skews the average for the whole coast. Airports: BCN.
