Who it suits, 0 to 100
Practical conclusions we draw from Ávila’s figures. They are inferences, not official statistics: each says what it rests on.
Few residents come from English-speaking or northern European countries, so daily life runs in Spanish. Contracts, the town hall and most doctors work in Spanish.
Summer nights stay warm, so sleep depends on a cooled bedroom. Check for air-conditioning before you sign.
Frosty nights are common. Many older Spanish flats are poorly insulated: ask about heating and the winter energy bill.
People born abroad are in work less often than people born in Spain across Castilla y León. Remote income or a job offer makes the move far easier.
