The town of Malpàs, in Alta Ribagorça, offers 18 renovated apartments with a pool and garage for under 90,000 euros, aiming to attract new residents and combat depopulation.

Given the high housing prices in Catalunya, many people are seeking alternatives outside major cities. A small town near the Pyrenees, Malpàs, has become a focal point by offering 18 renovated apartments in a rural setting for under 90,000 euros.
This village, located in the municipality of El Pont de Suert (Alta Ribagorça, Lleida), is suffering from depopulation and needs new inhabitants. The initiative presents an opportunity for those seeking a quiet and affordable life, far from urban crowds. Furthermore, its proximity to El Pont de Suert (10 km away) ensures access to basic services and shops, while its closeness to Boí Taüll enriches it with leisure options for both winter and summer.
The 18 flats, each around 65 square meters, include three bedrooms, one bathroom, a garage, a terrace, and access to a communal swimming pool. They are being sold from 89,000 euros, according to information from the real estate portal Idealista. This offer is particularly aimed at families and those who prefer not to undertake costly renovations.
For Malpàs, this initiative represents a chance to boost local consumption and revitalize a region in need of new residents. This strategy is part of a broader effort by some town councils in the province of Lleida to renovate housing and facilitate property ownership, thereby attracting new inhabitants.
Malpàs, situated at an altitude of approximately 1,000 meters, is notable for its medieval-looking old town and spectacular views. The natural surroundings offer opportunities to visit the protected area of Faiada de Malpàs and the old coal mines, although the latter are no longer directly accessible.
