Living in Llavorsí
Llavorsí is a tiny riverside village of around 340 deep in the high Pyrenees of Lleida at over 1,600m, a base for white-water rafting, canyoning and climbing amid rugged mountains. This is real high-altitude living — long, cold, snowy winters and short cool summers. It's mostly Spanish with a small mixed minority. Everything is far: the nearest hospital is close to an hour away down the valley, and any airport an hour beyond that. A place for people who live for the outdoors and don't mind the isolation that comes with the peaks.

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.
