Living in Segorbe
Segorbe is a tranquil inland town of 9,800 in the valley of the Palancia in Castellón, set among medlar and lemon orchards, with a 13th-century cathedral whose museum holds a Donatello marble Madonna.

It's a mixed working town with Colombian and Moroccan communities among a mostly Spanish population. Inland at around 460m, it has warm dry summers near 31°C and mild winters around 12°C. A hospital is about forty minutes away, as is Sagunto, with the coast a similar drive.

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.
