Living in Ansó

Ansó is a stone-built Pyrenean village of about 400, red roofs against green valley sides on the Río Veral, high up at nearly 1,500m. This is real mountain living: winters are long and cold, averaging 5°C with frost, and it is genuinely wet — well over a metre of rain and snow a year across a hundred rainy days. Even summers are cool for Spain, highs under 30°C. Almost everyone is Spanish-born, and it is remote — the nearest hospital close to an hour's drive, Pamplona an hour and a half — so the pleasure here is simply the quiet and the walking.

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.
