Living in Toses

Toses is a tiny mountain village of around 200 high in the Catalan Pyrenees at some 1,400m, its one real sight a well-restored medieval church. It's an overwhelmingly Spanish hamlet in real high country, with cold, snowy winters and short cool summers. Services mean a drive down the mountain: the nearest hospital is towards Puigcerdà, over half an hour off, and any town well over an hour. This is a place for people who want altitude, silence and a scattering of neighbours — little else is close.

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.
