Where are the “new” bargain hot spots in Spain in 2026?

Thanks to strong demand from many quarters, property prices are rising in Spain at a higher rate than in many other places in western Europe.

That’s great news for home owners and investors, yet home hunters also realise that British pounds still go a very long way in many parts of Spain, when weighed against prices in the UK (and falls down when it comes to hours of sunshine). We recently published the top 10 places for British buyers that are dominated by the southern Costas and it was clear that average budgets have increased since last year.

From the same mid-year dataset it’s clear that some buyers are casting their net wider for more value, so we have picked out the 10 locations for property enquiries that did not appear in 2025 – plus those getting an unprecedented level of enquiries.

Of the list below four out of 10 locations have an average enquiry budget of under £100k. So if you worry you are getting priced out of Spain then check out the list below. It’s clear that Murcia and Almeria are where buyers are now seriously looking, and that Galicia is of increasing interest….
