PALMA
THE Passeig d'Alt Murada by Palma's Cathedral is the most expensive street in Spain, with properties costing an average of 15'000 euros per square metre, according to a report by Tasamadrid.
Even though similar prices have been reached in Madrid, in new developments in the Paseo de la Habana, the average prices in the most expensive streets in the Spanish capital, in the Retiro and Passeo de la Castellana areas, are between 10'000 and 15'000 euros per square metres.
The case of Barcelona is similar, for while a price of 18'000 euros per square metre was recorded on one property in the Paseo de Gracia, the average price in the most expensive streets is 13'000 euros per square metre.
Outside Madrid and Barcelona, cities such as San Sebastian and Santander offer sea views, a factor which, according to Tasamadrid, is decisive in the cost of housing.
