And yet here in BCN the market is crazy. The agency parasites are the worst - charging 10% of the annual rent just for giving you the keys and printing a copy of the contract. I was fortunate enough to be able to rent my flat from a family friend, who was afraid of okupas if it was left empty. That said I live far-out from the centre (which I prefer) and it is still much more expensive than when I arrived just 4 years ago.
