How to find an apartment in Spain

Finding an apartment in Spain can feel like a full-time job at first… but once you understand the system, it gets a lot easier.

The first thing to know: the market moves FAST, especially in big cities like Madrid, Barcelona, or Valencia. If you find a good place, you need to message right away and be ready to visit ASAP. Waiting even a day can mean it’s gone.
