Found an actual property in one of these towns?
The listing report takes one address and an asking price and puts them in context — walking
distance to the essentials from that exact point, the asking €/m² against the local median
where the local median is measured locally, and the gross yield it would imply.

Ranks 4–8, one page each, in the same format as above —
pillar breakdown, key facts, sources and caveats. Yours as a PDF to keep.
Terragrado scores the place, from official open data (INE, INE-PT, MITMA, SERPAVI, DVF, OMI, Eurostat, NASA FIRMS, USGS, NOAA, OpenStreetMap).
Market indicators are not measured per municipality everywhere — Portugal's are distrito-level
throughout, and Spain's fall back to a published province or community figure where no municipal
one exists. Every figure that covers more ground than its town says so in the note beside it.
This dossier is decision support, not financial, legal or investment advice.
