Sale and lease of houses in Vizcaya is a popular and sought-after real estate segment in Spain. There are a lot of offers in the region, but the prices here are not low. Analysts predict slow but steady rise in house prices over the coming years.

It is no surprise that sale and lease of apartments in Vizcaya, even in the secondary housing market, starts at about 55 000 euros. Basically, this housing is unfurnished and requires additional investment for repairs. Options ranging from 60 000 to 100 000 euros cover a number of more comfortable offers of 60-80 square meters with partial or complete furnishing. If we talk about an apartment in a new building, then options cheaper than 120 000 euros are difficult to find.
 

Sale and lease of houses in Vizcaya - especially on the coast and in its immediate vicinity - is not an affordable pleasure. Of course, there are offers for 30 000 - 40 000 euros. However, in fact for this money you are buying just a land plot with construction unfit for living.
 

If you are looking for a modest house not on the shore, then it is possible to make an acquisition for 300 000 - 400 000 euros. Prices for a new comfortable house starts from 500 000 euros. For this money, you will get not only comfortable accommodation, but also the following advantages:
 

• The basis for obtaining a residence permit

• Schengen multivisa for yourself and family members for a period of six months;

• The ability to take mortgage loans in Spanish banks;

• The ability to fully manage the acquired living space and make profit from it

The upper price range for villas and houses in Vizcaya is almost unlimited. This is especially subject to the coast, known as Costa Baska. As for the lower limit, the house with a well-organized house territory, a small land plot and a pool in the first line from the ocean will cost about 800 000 - 1 000 000 euros.

Buying a land plot in Vizcaya is much more difficult than in any other Spanish province. The mountainous terrain, a limited free land, the demand and popularity of the region caused the lack of offers. Most options start from 700,000 euros. These are plots with a permit for development of commercial real estate with an approved project.

There is an international airport in the capital of the province - the city of Bilbao. But direct air service between Moscow and Bilbao is absent. You will have to change at least one flight - in Europe or Spain.
 

The province has a well-developed bus service. In addition, suburban and intercity buses are easily distinguished from urban buses - the latter have a red color, and intercity buses are green.
 

If you plan to travel a lot around the province, be sure to purchase a special travel card that will allow you to save almost 50% on transportation costs
 

In the capital - Bilbao - there is also a metro and tramlines - in some cases, they are more accessible and convenient than the bus service.

Vizcaya is a popular tourist region, and therefore there is a developed infrastructure and plenty of places for a good rest. Even if do not even take into account the numerous beaches and hotels.
 

One of the main cultural attractions is Bilbao itself. In the city there are many museums and historical buildings that can be viewed both independently and as part of tourist groups.
 

Many different festivals are held in the province - jazz, film festival, festival of advertising, classical music, theatrical festival and many others.
 

Of course, you should pay attention to the local cuisine. Vizcaya cooks prefer meat dishes and snacks. Moreover, the meat is mostly underdone with a minimum of spices and herbs. Seafood is also popular - fish, lobsters, shrimp, which are usually baked in the oven - it turns out simply and very tasty.
