Barcelona property prices break records

According to the latest Kyero Spanish House Price Index, the price of the average home in Barcelona province has risen to €572,500 in Q2 2015, 243 per cent higher than the national average. In Barcelona city, the figure rises to a record-breaking €617,000.

Martin Dell, Director of the Spanish property portal, comments: "Barcelona consistently tops the charts when it comes to real estate prices in Spain. It's a fascinating and magnificent city, not just from an architectural standpoint, but also culturally. It blends ancient Spanish traditions and values with a hip, modern culture. The gourmet La Boqueria Market just off Las Ramblas is the perfect example – hams cured to the same recipe for centuries hang opposite stalls of bright fruit shakes made using the latest superfoods. The city is a real melting pot but with a truly authentic heart."
