The rental market in the Costa Brava region is experiencing significant economic shifts driven by seasonal tourism. Analysis indicates that summer vacation rentals in certain coastal areas generate income comparable to, or even exceeding, the annual revenue of long-term rentals in provincial capitals like Girona.

This high profitability for property owners has contributed to rising housing costs. In the Girona coastal area, average monthly rents have reached 1,460 euros, which is 19% higher than the Spanish national average. This residential pressure is particularly acute in municipalities such as Cadaqués, Begur, and Lloret de Mar.

The increasing costs are reportedly impacting the local economy by hindering labor mobility and making it difficult for businesses in the hospitality, catering, and retail sectors to recruit and retain staff.
