Córdoba is one of the more affordable cities in Spain. This page collects dated price estimates for rent, food, transport and bills, plus a few real receipts from our own time here.
The big picture
Numbeo, a crowd-sourced price site, estimated in June 2026 that a single person’s monthly costs in Córdoba were about €725, excluding rent, and a family of four’s about €2,581, excluding rent (prices in June 2026). The average monthly net salary was listed at about €1,643 (June 2026). These are estimates from user contributions, so treat them as a guide, not a quote.
Housing
Numbeo’s estimates for monthly rent in June 2026 were about €700 for a one-bedroom apartment in the city centre and about €593 outside the centre, and about €1,719 and €983 for a three-bedroom apartment in the centre and outside (all prices in June 2026). Basic utilities for an 85 m² apartment were estimated at about €167 per month, and unlimited broadband at about €27 per month (June 2026).
We lived in San Basilio in a small apartment with a patio. Read about San Basilio and our daily life.
