Alhóndiga
Living in Alhóndiga
Alhóndiga is a tiny Castilian village — fewer than 200 people — on the high plains of Guadalajara, its one notable building a 15th-century Gothic grain warehouse that now holds the municipal archive. This is emptied-out interior Spain: almost everyone is Spanish-born, and the rhythm is that of a hamlet where daily needs mean a drive. Summers are hot and dry with highs in the low-to-mid 30s, winters cold around 6°C and frosty at night. Guadalajara, the nearest city, is about forty minutes away, and a hospital nearly forty minutes.

Numbers: Spainability town dataset, derived from INE, AEMET, Mitma and the Catastro. Registered long-let rent is SERPAVI declared-contract data; its p25–p75 values show the observed band. Registered-rent yield is gross, excludes costs and is never imputed. Percentile chips count only the municipalities that report the figure — the "of n" says how many. Region-ranked figures (PISA, surgical waits) compare Spain's 17 comunidades autónomas. A blank means no municipal-level figure is published — not a zero.
