Issue #6

in partnership with SpainExpat.com

Old houses with real age on them dominate this week, and the Balearics supply most of them: six of the ten, from Mahón to Ciutadella to Binissalem. On the mainland, the Fúcares Palace in Almagro, at €785,000, is the one I would book a flight for. Son Jans, a 17th-century finca near Campanet, sits at €650,000. Prices run from €450,000 in Bullas to €1.98 million in the Baix Empordà.

The Fúcares Palace was commissioned in 1539 by the German Fugger bankers, financiers to the Spanish Crown, in the historic noble quarter of Almagro. The street front is lime-washed white over a stone plinth, and its centrepiece is the carved Renaissance doorway attributed to Juan de Juren, which historians count among the finest in Castilla-La Mancha. Behind it the rooms gather around a 150 sqm arcaded courtyard, where stone columns carry the Fúcares coats of arms. Timber-coffered ceilings and fireplaces survive inside, a long room has exposed beams and a hearth, and the floors are terracotta. A second courtyard garden of 250 sqm has its own carriage entrance, and the house also holds a 200 sqm former granary, a cellar and a wine store. At 785,000 euros it offers 1,459 sqm and 22 bedrooms, less than fifty minutes from Madrid by high-speed train. It suits a buyer ready to run a very large historic house as a family home, a boutique hotel or a cultural space.
