Why Comunidad de Madrid
- Typical rent, existing lease: €800 a month vs €1,270 a month
- The deepest job market in Spain in Spanish and international business
- The longest life expectancy and some of the best-staffed hospitals in the country
Watch out: The highest rents and house prices in Spain and rising faster than pay; Street robbery and pickpocketing in the busiest parts of the capital and on the metro.
