Searching for affordable housing in Spain is becoming more and more of a challenge every year. Both purchase and rental prices are steadily climbing, forcing many to postpone their dream of owning a home. Yet, even as prices rise nationwide, there are still pockets of stability where a square meter doesn’t cost a fortune. The autonomous community of Navarra is one such place, offering promising options for those seeking quality of life without sky-high expenses.
If you leave behind the capital’s hustle and bustle, the region’s most financially attractive municipality as of November 2025 is Corella. This town, located in southern Navarra in the Ribera de Navarra comarca, offers real estate at an average price of just 1,002 euros per square meter. With a population of around 8,000, Corella strikes a happy medium: it’s not a tiny village, but it’s far from an overcrowded metropolis. Its proximity to the border with La Rioja and the major city of Tudela makes it a strategically convenient place to live.
Corella is rightly considered one of the baroque jewels of Navarra. Walking its streets is a journey through history itself. Majestic noble mansions and iconic landmarks, such as the Church of San Miguel, can be found at every turn—a testament to the town’s rich past.
Life in Corella means choosing a calm and measured pace without sacrificing the comforts of civilization. The town has everything needed for a comfortable daily life: supermarkets, small private shops, bars, restaurants, and educational facilities. This allows residents to handle most day-to-day needs without leaving the municipality. The low cost of housing also makes it possible to purchase a larger apartment or house. The well-preserved historic center, with its religious and secular Baroque buildings, cozy walking areas, and strong commitment to local traditions and festivals, creates a unique atmosphere. Its proximity to Tudela offers more opportunities for work and leisure, while still keeping living expenses low. Moreover, major cities like Zaragoza, Logroño, and Pamplona are all within easy reach.
For those who prefer living in the regional capital but aren’t willing to overpay, Pamplona also has neighborhoods with more moderate prices. Districts such as Rochapea, San Jorge, and Etxabakoitz are traditionally among the most affordable. According to recent data, the most budget-friendly area in the city is Milagrosa, where the average price per square meter for purchasing property is €2,500. Close behind in affordability are the previously mentioned Rochapea and the Buztintxuri neighborhood.
Corella tops the list, but it’s not the only affordable option in Navarra. There are other municipalities where real estate prices are significantly lower than the regional average. Here are some of them:
– Viana: a historic town on the border with La Rioja, known for its lively atmosphere and well-developed infrastructure. The price here is 1,223 euros/m².
– Tafalla: a medium-sized city in central Navarra with excellent road and rail connections. A square meter costs 1,489 euros.
– Tudela: the region’s second most important city, offering a much broader range of services. Housing costs here are 1,637 euros/m².
– Estella-Lizarra: a historic town in central Navarra closely linked to the Camino de Santiago. The current price is 1,669 euros/m².
For reference, Navarra is an autonomous community and province in northern Spain, bordering France. Its capital and largest city is Pamplona, world-famous for the San Fermín festival and its running of the bulls. The region features a remarkable diversity of landscapes, from the Pyrenees in the north to the semi-desert Bardenas Reales in the south. Navarra’s economy is among the strongest in Spain, with a high level of industrialization and a well-developed service sector. Historically, Navarra was an independent kingdom, which has left a deep mark on its culture, traditions, and architecture.
