Spain pledged €14B for public housing in 2024 — its largest ever.

The Spanish government announced a €14 billion housing plan through 2030, aiming to build 184,000 affordable homes. Protesters say it falls far short — Spain has one of Europe's lowest shares of public housing stock, at under 2.5%.

Spain's mass housing protests built over 8 years of tenant organizing.

The Sindicato de Llogateres (Tenants' Union) formed in Catalonia in 2017. By April 5, 2025, coordinated marches erupted in over 40 Spanish cities simultaneously — the movement's largest mobilization ever.

Spain's 8,000 km coastline fuels its worst housing hotspots.

Coastal provinces like Málaga, Alicante & the Balearics face the steepest rents as tourism competes with locals for housing — a geographic squeeze tied directly to Spain's vast Mediterranean and Atlantic shores.
