Imagine owning a home in a picturesque Spanish village for as little as 45,000 euros
This dream could become a reality thanks to a new initiative in Spain's Andalusia region
Towns across Andalusia are offering incredibly affordable homes for rent and purchase to combat depopulation
This effort is spearheaded by the Hola Pueblo platform, a collaboration between Radea, Alma Natura and IKEA
The initiative covers 14 municipalities spread across six provinces in Andalusia. Cuelva province offers the most options, with eight participating towns mostly situated in the Sierra de Aracina
Other provinces involved include Sevilla, Malaga, Cordoba, Jain and Almeria. These homes are available at remarkably low prices
Rentals start from as little as 200 euros per month, while purchase prices begin at just 45
thousand euros. Each town listed on the Holla Pueblo platform showcases its unique benefits and
available properties. Jose Godino, mayor of Corripe, one of the participating towns, highlights
the appeal of these rural communities He points out the stark contrast between the stress of modern urban life and the peaceful pollution environment these towns offer The natural surroundings and different pace of life present a refreshing alternative
to the frenetic rhythm of city living. However, there is a catch to this enticing offer. These
towns are not just looking for new residents, they're seeking entrepreneurs who can help revitalise
local economies. The goal is to inject new life and business opportunities into these villages
creating a sustainable solution to the problem of rural depopulation. For those intrigued by this opportunity
the next step is to contact the town councils of the municipalities you're interested in
You'll need to present your business idea as part of the application process
This can be done by registering on the Holla Pueblo platform, where you can find more information about each town and the available properties
This initiative offers a unique chance to embrace a new lifestyle, start a business and become part of a close-knit community in one of Spain's most beautiful regions
It's an opportunity to swap the urban grind for a more relaxed, nature-oriented way of life
all while contributing to the revitalization of rural Spain
