The most expensive street to buy a home in Murcia will cost you €700,000, and it's probably not where you'd expect

A new study reveals the priciest addresses across Spain, from a Mallorca road where homes average €15 million to the top street right here in the Region

If you have ever walked along Gran Vía Escultor Francisco Salzillo in Murcia city and wondered what it might cost to actually live there, a new study has the answer. According to research by property portal Idealista published this Thursday, it is the most expensive street in the entire Region of Murcia for buying a home, with one property currently listed at €700,000.

That figure might raise an eyebrow or two locally, but zoom out to the national picture and it puts things in a rather different perspective. Spain's most exclusive street is currently Camino del Salinar in Andratx, Mallorca, where the average asking price for a home is €15 million. Yes, million. Per home.

Second place goes to Paseo de los Lagos in the celebrated La Finca development in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, at an average of €11 million, while third is the entire Coto Zagaleta urbanisation in Benahavís, Málaga, where sellers are asking around €10.5 million.

The rest of the top ten is a mix of Mallorca, Madrid and Marbella. Mossa Street in Palma comes in fourth at €9.8 million, followed by the prestigious La Moraleja estate in Madrid at €8.9 million, and Binicaubell Street in Palma at €7.9 million. Marbella's Osa Menor street takes seventh place at €7.85 million, before two of Madrid's most iconic addresses, Serrano Street and José Ortega y Gasset Street, share eighth and ninth place at €6.95 million each. Marbella closes out the top ten with the Cascada de Camoján urbanisation at an average of €6,395,000.

The Balearic Islands, Madrid and Andalucía between them account for all ten of those top spots, though five other regions have streets where average prices exceed €1 million: Catalonia at €5.98 million, the Canary Islands at €5.95 million, the Valencian Community at €4.2 million, Galicia at €1.98 million and the Basque Country at €1.79 million.

At the other end of the scale, the most affordable region is Castilla-La Mancha, where even its priciest street averages just €335,000, followed by Extremadura at €475,000 and Asturias at €490,000.
All of which makes Murcia's €700,000 top address feel, relatively speaking, rather reasonable.
