I’m in rural France and my nearest supermarket is 25 mins drive away, I have to drive further if I want anything else.

I've cycle toured Spain for many years. I've lost count of the beautiful places l've seen with houses for sale for peanuts. There are solid reasons why they are cheap and why you'll never get your renovation costs back if you need to sell.

We bought in a small village in andalusia for the price of a mid sized car,  spent the same amount to bring it up to a great town house.  It's the best decision we buying inland we could ever make

I was hoping the small city of Merida or Valencia would have made your list…I Love both places ….

I like the idea of a cave home.

Enjoying watching this video

Hello cave home Andalusien is great 😊...you are right,  the zones away from All are very cheap in spain!  I was living on Ibiza Island 1992-2002... Now i am Looking Place to buy property in spain to spend la jubilation. Saludo Jürgen,  Frankfurt

"Teruel Exists" is  movement of people. Albarracín is absolutely beautiful, just like Teruel with its Mudéjar architecture, recognised as UNESCO world heritage since 1986. I was in Teruel yesterday, my fourth visit there. The area can be quite cold in winter, they even have ski resorts there. Teruel and Albarracín sit at an elevation of ~1200m above sea level.
They have a large number of refugees from Africa there, they were taken there and cannot simply choose to live elsewhere. They report that they get along with the locals well.
The train line from Sagunto and València via Teruel to Zaragoza has been under repair for several years, but is close to completion including electrification with overhead wire. Hopefully, trains will run there soon and connect Teruel, which is also the capital of the province of the same name, to the bigger places mentioned.
For me walking to the next supermarket is important, I don't want to be dependent on a car. And I'm just a tourist in Spain, won't become a resident.

I'm vacationing in Marbella at the moment. You won't believe the prices they ask for sea-side villas here.

The Spanish have a saying, "pueblo pequeño, infierno grande" been there, done that.

My family is from Zamora. We sold out house there for like 50k. It was ridiculous.

Spain is very more'ish . . . You'll need more than you think now. A cheap house in the hills has its ups & downs . . .
You've gotta be made of strong stuff and very resourceful.

The prices that property agents display does not match the given narrative...bs.

The amounts being asked for coupled with renovation costs are unattractive. If the purchase costs were lower the restoration costs would be easier to saccept. Greec and Italy will allow you to buy a property for almost nothing as long as you agree to restore it within a certain amount of time. A much more attractive proposition IMHO. This would be most desirable for retirees and people who have a digitally based income. A lack of shops and local amenities also has to be factored into any consideration of a purchase. It is not just the property but the question can you survive there.

There is a saying: "Small town, big hell," and this holds true due to the difficulties involved in relationships with the few local inhabitants.

Guys, there are houses empty and for sale for practically nothing in every country. They are situated in beautiful, natural environment that the young people do not want. They're crammed into shitty apartments in overcrowded, crime ridden cities , paying horrendous rents for the high life.
And there are less and less young people. Each generation almost halves it's numbers.

Been somewhere else hectic and so called modern sounds perfect for me and what is happening  with added axtra tax for non I residential buyers from the uk

the prises are way to high for abandon vilages...

It is sad to hear that so many beautiful places have fallen to this. People are needing to leave to find employment due to the downfall of the industries that gave life to them. Sheep farmers other farmers and the coal industry and the other industries that have gone by the wayside. What was the reason for this action?

Ok you buy the house, one how much would it cost you to upgrade it to modern standards, electic, pluming, insolution, new windows double or triple glaze, Solar Panels, internet fibre etc.
