The highest house prices in Spain are found in the provinces of Madrid (in particular the city), Barcelona, Malaga and striking the Basque Country. Cheap areas include Extremadura, Galicia, parts of Castile and Leon and Castile-La Mancha. The lowest price house is located in the province of Zamora about 100.000 euros. It is notable that the entire strip of Mediterranean coastline, including Costa Blanca, Costa Brava and Costa del Sol, (except perhaps Castellon) from Girona to Huelva is relatively expensive compared to the national average. The national average is around 280,000 euros. The Spanish islands (Balearic Islands - Ibiza - Mallorca - Menorca and the Canary Islands - La Palma, Tenerife, Lanzarote, El Hierro, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, La Gomera) are relatively expensive.
