The place. A large, largely residential town at the western edge of the valley, formed in 1955 from two older towns, Realejo Alto and Realejo Bajo, both with protected historic areas. It reaches from the steep coast at El Socorro beach and Rambla de Castro, up through Toscal-Longuera and San Agustín, to Icod el Alto high above the valley. Most homes here are lived in all year.

What's for sale. Mainly flats, at typical asking prices well below Puerto's next door, plus a smaller group of detached houses. The coastal strip at Toscal-Longuera asks far more per square metre than the upper town, about €3,050 against €2,080.

Market movement. Of 190 homes listed on 16 September, 25% had left the portal by 1 November and 13% had cut their price (typically by 6.6%). Another 55 new listings were still for sale on 1 November.

Portal price index. The portal's own index for the town was +26.6% over the year to May 2026, at about €2,290 per m². This is an index of what sellers ask, and it swings in small markets.

Rents. 15 flats listed for rent ask a typical €900 a month for 72 m². Per square metre, that is about 5.1% a year of the typical flat's asking price, before costs and tax.

Who it suits. Year-round residents, families and first-time buyers who want valley life at lower prices than Puerto, with the sea and La Villa close by. Flats ask a typical €900 a month in rent.

Check before buying.

  • Part of the town is very steep, so walk the street before you decide.
  • Upper areas are noticeably cooler and wetter.
  • Town houses here vary a lot in condition.
  • Works in the two protected historic areas need heritage approval.

How long the licence takes

If you want to build or renovate, this is the biggest variable, and it depends almost entirely on the town hall. These are our estimates, not measurements.

How to read the numbers
  • Homes for sale is what we counted on the main property portal on 1 November 2026. A home listed twice at the same size and price counts once.
  • Typical asking price is the middle listing: half ask more, half ask less. The middle-half range cuts off the cheapest and dearest quarters.
  • Recorded sale prices come from Spain's notaries: an average over the 12 months up to about late summer 2026. Notaries see every sale, including older homes that never reach the portals, and very expensive sales are underweighted. So the gap between sale and asking figures is not the discount a buyer should expect. It mostly shows that the two sets contain different homes.
  • Market movement runs from the first week we had a complete count of the town. A home that left the portal may have sold, or the owner may have withdrawn it. Eight towns have about six weeks of history; nine have under three, which is too short to read anything into.
  • Drive times are calculated routes in free-flowing traffic. Allow more at rush hour, especially on the TF-5.
  • Rents are asking rents, shown only where at least 10 flats were listed.
What applies in every town

Holiday lets. The Canary Islands law of December 2025 (Law 6/2025) changed the sums for anyone buying for holiday income. Do not assume a home can be let to tourists because the seller does it today.

  • A new holiday let on residential land needs a home at least 10 years old, unless the town's plan lowers that.
  • Where a town has no specific plan, holiday-let beds are capped at 10% of the residents in each population centre and each census section. Detached homes are allowed in principle. Rural settlements have their own density limits. Municipalities classed as facing depopulation get softer limits (five years and 20%).
  • A building's statutes or its owners' vote can rule it out.
  • New permissions last five years and then need renewing.
  • Holiday lets already registered have transition rules: owners who run their own can apply to keep the use within five years, and others have five years, extendable to ten at most in specific cases.
  • A declared stressed housing zone suspends new holiday lets automatically.

Each town is still working out its own plan, so ask the town hall about the specific address.

Near the sea. Spain's Coastal Law restricts building and renovation in a strip behind the shoreline, generally 100 metres and 20 metres in some older urban areas. Check before buying anything close to the water.

Rural land. The north has many houses on farm terraces. What you may build, extend or legalise depends on how the land is classed, so check with the town's planning office before you rely on any extension or plot potential.

Weather. The north coast is greener, cloudier and more humid than the south, and mild all year. Altitude matters more than the map suggests: a few hundred metres uphill can mean more cloud and cooler evenings. Damp is a real point to check in older houses.
