Barbate rents against the official reference
Five years have added 34,3 % to the reference, well ahead of general inflation. Only 123 declared leases sit behind that figure, so read it as an indication rather than a benchmark. Barbate carries a reference rent of 6,40 €/m², below the Spanish middle but no longer at the floor.
Rents declared on income-tax returns for main-residence leases, not asking prices. They lag the market and exclude holiday lets.
