What renting in Torremolinos costs, on the record
Torremolinos rents at a reference of 10,17 €/m², high enough that a single square metre of difference in the contract is worth arguing about. 3.969 declared leases sit behind it: enough to inform, small enough that one street can sit outside the range. Five years have added 31,3 % to the reference, well ahead of general inflation.
Rents declared on income-tax returns for main-residence leases, not asking prices. They lag the market and exclude holiday lets.
