The Most Expensive Houses in Spain

According to a an article today in the online newspaper ABC, Europa Press published a study from Pisos.com (confused yet?) about the most expensive second-hand properties on sale at the moment. The results are pretty staggering in my opinion! Sitges, the seaside town close to Barcelona tops the list with a house on the market a massive 10 million Euros! We're talking about a plot of 2000m2 and the house itself is 400m2, with outdoor gardens a swimming pool, 5 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It's also up for rent at a cool 15,000 Euros a month.



Now, nobody for a minute is suggesting that Sitges is not a playground for the rich and famous around Barcelona. The small town feel is an ideal getaway from the bustling streets of Barcelona, and many of the FC Barcelona football players have houses here, but what surprises me is the apparent quality on show. If you have a look at the images on show, you'll see a pretty 80's style looking house in my opinion, with a poorly kept garden, and save some amazing views from the balcony windows (what more would you want for your 10 million?) nothing really leaps out to shout quality - take the kitchen for example?!

The second most expensive house is located in Marbella, and is on the market for 9 Million Euros. Again, there is nothing here which screams luxury from the images online, and with 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, this is a huge mother of a house RIGHT on the beach itself. To me, though, it looks like it needs a lot of work doing to it, especially taking out the pink 80s jacuzzi overlooking the beachfront!

Third on the list is a chalet located in Palma de Mallorca, and is going for a snip at 8,800000 Euros. With 3 bedrooms and a baffling 9 bathrooms, this is a huge property, too, with 1000m2.



Considering the amount of properties out there at the moment, both new and used, I'm sure there can be plenty of bargains to be had. These three properties seem well over-priced to me, and although the images on the sites are doing it no favours, consider this one published in the New york Times last year at only 1,45 Million Euros. I say only in comparison to the other three mentioned here above!
