Goodbye expensive rents: this village 'next door' has houses for 500 euros and jobs in a variety of sectors

Medina del Campo, a historic village in Castilla y León located less than two hours from the Portuguese border, is standing out as a real alternative for those looking to escape expensive homes and find stability again, with rents starting at 500 euros.

According to Executive Digest, a website specializing in economics, the town is part of a repopulation program that combines affordable housing, employment in various sectors and comprehensive services, attracting more and more attention from Portuguese people who are considering changing their lives without losing quality.

The municipality, with more than 20 thousand inhabitants, wants to attract new residents through rents starting at 500 euros, houses for purchase from 50 thousand euros and a diversified job market.

According to the same publication, Medina del Campo is today positioned as one of the most active locations in Spain in attracting new residents, offering conditions that have become almost impossible in large cities.

Employment in varied sectors

The job offer is one of the pillars of the “Come Live in a Village” program. According to the same source, there are opportunities in maintenance, industry, food production, industrial cleaning, hospitality, personal care, social services, clinical assistance, fuel pumps and even technical roles such as WWTP operators.

Complete services and quality of life

Medina del Campo has a health center, schools, daycare centers, sports equipment, an indoor swimming pool, cultural centers and a robust commercial network, with supermarkets, banks, pharmacies and restaurants.
