Living in Iglesuela del Cid, La

La Iglesuela del Cid is a picturesque stone village of around 360 high in the Maestrazgo of Teruel, its ochre-red dry-stone walls and coat-of-arms-studded houses gathered on a compact church square — its very name a memory of El Cid, who once swept through these hills. At nearly 1,300m it is genuine high country, with cold winters and warm, dry summers. It's mostly Spanish, with a small North African and Pakistani minority. This is about as remote as mainland Spain gets: the nearest hospital is nearly an hour and a half away, and the nearest city — Castellón, over the mountains — about the same.

Region-ranked figures (PISA, surgical waits) compare Spain's 17 comunidades autónomas. A blank means no municipal-level figure is published — not a zero.
