Living in Coria
Coria is a quiet old Extremaduran town of 12,000 south of the Sierra de Gata, its stately whitewashed houses and a fine convent tucked within third- and fourth-century Roman walls. It's overwhelmingly Spanish and unhurried — a place that, as the guides admit, looks like nothing much from the main road but rewards a wander. Summers are hot with highs around 35°C, winters mild near 9°C. It has its own hospital, but it's deep in rural Extremadura: Cáceres, the provincial capital, is about an hour away, and airports far beyond.

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.
