Spain is much cheaper than the Netherlands and Belgium: what it means for buyers
Eurostat puts Spain's price level about a quarter below the Netherlands and Belgium. But the gap isn't everywhere, and for anyone eyeing a property here the nuance matters more than the headline.
Key points
- Spain's overall price level is roughly 25% lower than the Netherlands and Belgium.
- The gap is largest in dining out, services and hospitality; smaller in the supermarket.
- Best for those bringing a northern income or pension, as local wages are lower too.
