Living in Berlanga de Duero
Berlanga de Duero is a quiet Soria backwater of about 800, once more important than it is now, watched over by a castle with massive cylindrical towers and a fine late-Gothic collegiate church. This is high, empty Castile at over 1,000m — winters are cold, averaging around 5°C and dropping to freezing, summers warm but rarely hot near 29°C. It is very Spanish and very remote: the nearest hospital is nearly an hour and a half away, and Soria, the provincial capital, about the same. A place for real quiet rather than convenience.

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.
