Torrevieja rents against the official reference
Five years have added 29,7 % to the reference, well ahead of general inflation. Torrevieja carries a reference rent of 6,60 €/m², below the Spanish middle but no longer at the floor. 3.813 declared leases sit behind it: enough to inform, small enough that one street can sit outside the range.
Rents declared on income-tax returns for main-residence leases, not asking prices. They lag the market and exclude holiday lets.
