In fact, the municipalities in Málaga and the Balearic Islands are mentioned nine times in the list of the top 25 most expensive places to buy in the country.

Behind this are Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, both in the Canary Islands. These are followed by Alcalá de Henares (also in Madrid), Zaragoza, Valencia, Sevilla, Parla (in Madrid) and San Sebastián.
