Living in Aragón

Aragón runs hot and dry: summer highs average 31°C over only about 61 rainy days a year, with plenty of sun. That suits sun-seekers, but summer water stress is worth watching (WEI+ 36 vs a national 56).

On the wallet: homes run about €1,706/m² (16% below the national average (€2,024/m²)); median net income is about €15,178 per person (6% above the national average (€14,279)).

Public healthcare here means a mean surgical wait around 132 days (28% above the national average (103 days)), with 21.7% of the surgical list waiting over six months — a real, published number, not a brochure claim.
