Consuegra
The most picturesque and typical of Manchegan settings, below a ridge of eleven restored, highly photogenic windmills.
Living in Consuegra
Consuegra is the archetypal Manchegan sight — a line of eleven restored windmills along a ridge above town, sharing the crest with a ruined castle of the Knights of St John. Below, it's a working country town of 9,800, overwhelmingly Spanish-born with a Romanian community, that lives off the surrounding plain. At around 740m the climate is dry-continental — fierce summers near 35°C, cold winters near freezing at night. Toledo and the nearest hospital are both about forty minutes away, so it's a self-reliant town on the road south from Madrid to Andalucía.

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.
