Commercial premises on the market in Spain, October 2026

What this report counts

This report measures the oferta de locales (listed supply of commercial premises) in agencies' listings that Claro holds. All figures were read from Claro on 11 October 2026.

It gives counts only. It does not report prices, rents or €/m², and it says nothing about demand or vacancy.

• City figures count premises, each counted once: the same unit listed by more than one agency counts once.
• The Spain-wide figure counts active listings, not merged, so it is reported as listings, never as premises: 231,002 listings of all types, including 159,473 retail, 34,092 offices and 32,856 warehouses (naves), as of 11 October 2026.
• Rent (en alquiler) and sale (en venta) overlap: some premises are offered both ways, so rent plus sale exceeds the retail figure. Do not add them to get a total.
• 'All types' covers every commercial premises in the city; retail, offices (oficinas) and warehouses are shown separately, and other types are not broken out.

Key findings

Each finding below is computed from the city counts as of 11 October 2026. This is the first edition, so there is no comparison with earlier months and no trend.

• Madrid (13,479) and Barcelona (12,979) had the most premises of all types; Valencia was third with 3,892.
• For retail alone, Barcelona (7,291) had more premises than Madrid (7,059).
• Retail's share of each city's total was highest in Ourense (87.1%) and León (80.3%), and lowest in Sevilla (51.8%), Madrid (52.4%) and Barcelona (56.2%).
• Offices made up 39.9% of Madrid's total (5,373) and 40.3% of Barcelona's (5,230); in no other city in the report did they exceed 35%.
• Madrid had the most warehouses (839), followed by Sevilla (304) and Murcia (299).
• Retail for sale exceeded retail for rent in 11 of the 15 cities. The gap was widest in Bilbao (1,639 for sale, 772 for rent, about 2.1 to 1) and Alicante (1,359 and 652, about 2.1 to 1), then Murcia (about 1.6 to 1), Valladolid (1.5 to 1), León and Logroño (each about 1.4 to 1).
• Retail for rent exceeded retail for sale in four cities: Barcelona (4,843 and 4,564), Sevilla (855 and 681), Ourense (1,365 and 1,128) and Zaragoza (1,021 and 993).

How to use these counts in an expansion plan

Supply is not demand. A count tells you how many premises are listed in a city on one date, which helps size the choice available before you build a shortlist for your plan de aperturas (opening plan). It does not tell you how fast premises let, what they cost or whether a city suits your format.

The useful number is how many premises meet your criteria, not how many exist. Write one brief, following the expansion brief template, and run it city by city in Claro. Claro searches commercial premises across Spain by city or province, and checks each premises against every criterion: met, not met or not stated, with the evidence from the listing. Location figures and nearby places are shown where available.

For the two largest markets in this report, see commercial premises in Madrid and commercial premises in Barcelona. For how a brief-based search fits alongside geomarketing, footfall data and consultancies, see site selection tools in Spain.

• Compare cities on the same brief, not on raw stock.
• Split rent and sale: in this edition, the balance differs city by city.
• Treat 'not stated' as a question for the agency, not as a no.

Method and limits

These counts come from listings that agencies publish. They are not a census of every commercial premises. Municipal censuses count all establishments, whether on the market or not: Madrid publishes the Censo de Locales y Actividades and Barcelona the Cens de locals en planta baixa (census of ground-floor premises). The two measures answer different questions and should not be compared directly.

Listings appear and leave every day, and Claro adds new premises every night. This report is a snapshot of one date, 11 October 2026. How Claro merges duplicate listings into one record per premises is set out in the methodology.

The next edition follows next month. Earlier editions stay published as they were, so the series can be read month against month.
