Living in Bujalance
Bujalance is a whitewashed olive-country town of 7,000 in the plains of Córdoba, its charm in the 17th-century noble houses around a sloping, orange-tree-planted plaza. It is about as Spanish as it gets — barely one resident in fifty was born abroad — and the setting is a sea of olive groves. Summers here are among the fiercest in Spain, with July–August highs around 37°C, though winters are mild near 11°C. It's a self-contained country town: Córdoba, the nearest city, and the nearest hospital are both about fifty minutes away.

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.
