In the metropolitan areas of Spain, the cost of sharing an apartment is becoming increasingly expensive. This trend is particularly evident in the surrounding municipalities of large cities like Barcelona and Madrid. The price of a room, once a more affordable option, has risen significantly.

On average, a room in Spain now costs around 475 euros per month. Further details on this issue can be found in El Mundo, which reports that prices in some areas exceed 700 euros per room, making it difficult for people to find affordable housing.
