Living in Tordesillas
Tordesillas is a quiet Castilian town of 8,800 on the Duero, with an outsized place in world history: it was here, in 1494, that Spain and Portugal signed the treaty carving up the newly discovered Americas between them. Its Mudéjar royal monastery — 'the Alhambra of Castile' — a long medieval bridge and a faded arcaded plaza are the sights. It's mostly Spanish, with a Romanian community. At around 690m the climate is dry-continental: warm summers near 31°C, cold winters near freezing. It has a hospital and Valladolid both around twenty-five minutes away, with the airport half an hour — well connected for its size.

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.
