But the three Valencian capitals have registered an increase much higher than the average and the main cities of the country.

Among the most dynamic markets, Alicante has doubled its supply (+108%) and Valencia has increased the available rooms by 76%. Both cities are far ahead of cities such as Malaga (+29%), Barcelona (+26%), Seville (+24%), San Sebastian (+9%) and Madrid (+6%).

Only a few smaller markets, such as Castelló de la Plana (+128%) have seen a proportionally higher increase in the supply of this type of access to housing, which is growing throughout Spain due to a general increase in prices that makes it increasingly difficult for workers or students with limited resources to access exclusive housing.

As a result, despite the increase in supply, the rent to be paid for a room has also risen in almost all provincial capitals, except in Teruel (-3%) and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (-1%), while in Seville it has remained stable. The largest increase has been in Cáceres, with a rise of 27%, followed by Badajoz, Ceuta and Palma (25% in the three cities).

And among the large markets, after Palma, the largest increase has been in Alicante (16%), Barcelona (13%), Madrid (10%), Valencia (8%), San Sebastián (7%), Málaga (5%) and Bilbao (5%).

Barcelona is the city with the most expensive room rentals in Spain, reaching an average of 565 euros per month. It is followed by Palma and Madrid (500 euros in both cities) and San Sebastián (450 euros). In a total of four capitals, the price is set at 400 euros per month: Pamplona, ​​Málaga, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Bilbao. In Valencia, the price is set at 395 euros.
