It depends on the definitions of a housing crisis, but according to “ The Guardian” [0]Spain is in the worst housing crisis in Europe.
Here this the summary:
“ In Spain, a significant housing law, aimed at enshrining housing as a fundamental human right, was implemented on May 26, following years of development. However, its future is uncertain due to the recent gain of rightwing parties in elections and a snap election called by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for July 23. The law's roots date back to 1956, aiming to transition Spain to a nation of homeowners and establishing "publicly protected housing," which could be sold after 30 years. Spain, with nearly 80% of homes being owner-occupied, faced a crisis in 2008 when global real estate issues led to widespread evictions and skyrocketing rents, amidst only a minimal increase in wages. This disparity has resulted in Spain having the highest housing cost overburden rate in Europe and sparked a housing movement driven by anti-eviction activists and tenants’ unions.”
