Living in Calatañazor
Calatañazor is barely a village at all — around forty people in a medieval huddle of houses with distinctive conical chimneys, beneath skeletal castle ruins in the Soria highlands. It often seems deserted, and the shops that remain sell local honey, wild mushrooms and cheese. At nearly 1,100m the winters are cold, averaging around 5°C with frost, and summers mild in the high 20s. This is deep-rural Castile: Soria and the nearest hospital are both about forty minutes away, and daily life means driving.

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.
