One shows the sea, the mountains and the striking Bay of Kotor; the other, orange trees, late dinners and the sense that winter only happens somewhere else. Spain and Montenegro: both warm, both familiar to Russian speakers, and neither an exotic choice any more.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at the latest figures from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numbeo.com\/quality-of-life\/compare_countries_result.jsp?country1=Spain&amp;country2=Montenegro\">Numbeo<\/a> alongside what we see in practice, and lay out the differences clearly. There will be some numbers, but only as many as you need to help you make a considered decision rather than follow a passing impulse. The rest is about everyday life.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"money\">What Does Everyday Life Cost?<\/h2>\n<p>Montenegro is cheaper. That\u2019s the plain truth. Excluding rent, living costs there are roughly <strong>17%<\/strong> lower; including rent, the difference reaches about <strong>20%<\/strong>. Groceries cost around <strong>22%<\/strong> less, and a meal at a mid-range restaurant about <strong>15%<\/strong> less.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s what\u2019s interesting. Look at individual prices and the idea that everything costs \u201chalf as much\u201d quickly falls apart. A McDonald\u2019s combo costs <strong>\u20ac10<\/strong> in Spain and <strong>\u20ac9.95<\/strong> in Montenegro. Half a litre of beer is <strong>\u20ac3<\/strong> versus <strong>\u20ac2.80<\/strong>. Dinner for two at a mid-range restaurant comes to <strong>\u20ac50<\/strong> versus <strong>\u20ac45<\/strong>. A simple meal at an inexpensive restaurant is where the difference becomes more noticeable: <strong>\u20ac15<\/strong> in Spain and <strong>\u20ac10<\/strong> in Montenegro. In other words, the familiar \u201ctourist\u201d expenses don\u2019t differ that much. Montenegro\u2019s biggest savings are usually on <a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/rent\">rent<\/a>, but more on that shortly.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"salaries\">What Are Salaries Like?<\/h2>\n<p>This part is often overlooked in glossy relocation videos, and it shouldn\u2019t be. The average monthly net salary is <strong>\u20ac1,754<\/strong> in Spain and <strong>\u20ac913<\/strong> in Montenegro \u2013 almost half as much. The purchasing power index tells a similar story: <strong>109.84<\/strong> for Spain compared with <strong>71.57<\/strong> for Montenegro. Numbeo estimates that local purchasing power in Montenegro is <strong>34.8%<\/strong> lower.<\/p>\n<p>If you arrive with an income of your own \u2013 from <a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/articles\/best-cities-to-work-remotely-in-spain\">remote work<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/articles\/taxes-on-business-in-spain\">business<\/a>, savings or passive income \u2013 this difference may matter less. Montenegro could work out better for you: you spend at local prices while earning from abroad. But if you plan to look for a job locally, the picture changes. Spain has a broader labour market and higher salaries, making it more realistic to save for a holiday or a down payment.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"housing\">Where Is It More Affordable to Rent or Buy?<\/h2>\n<p>Rent is cheaper in Montenegro, with no surprises there. A one-bedroom apartment in the city centre costs about <strong>\u20ac569<\/strong>, compared with <strong>\u20ac899<\/strong> in Spain. Outside the centre, the figures are <strong>\u20ac425<\/strong> and <strong>\u20ac708<\/strong>. A three-bedroom apartment in the centre costs <strong>\u20ac1,060<\/strong> versus <strong>\u20ac1,407<\/strong>. A difference of <strong>25%<\/strong>, or even <strong>40%<\/strong>, is certainly noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>But let\u2019s look at those figures from the perspective of someone earning a local salary. A central one-bedroom apartment in Montenegro takes up about <strong>62%<\/strong> of the average net salary. In Spain, it\u2019s around <strong>51%<\/strong>. Rent may be lower in euros, yet it can weigh more heavily on your budget. That paradox tends to get lost in comparison tables.<\/p>\n<p>Buying a home makes the comparison more interesting. A square metre in the city centre costs <strong>\u20ac3,648<\/strong> in Spain and <strong>\u20ac2,847<\/strong> in Montenegro. Outside the centre, it\u2019s <strong>\u20ac2,298<\/strong> and <strong>\u20ac2,047<\/strong>. There is a price gap, but in quieter areas it narrows to around <strong>10%<\/strong>. The price-to-income ratio, however, is <strong>8.47<\/strong> in Spain and <strong>13.39<\/strong> in Montenegro. Put simply, a local resident would need about <strong>8.5 years of income<\/strong> to buy an apartment in Spain, compared with more than <strong>13 years of income<\/strong> in Montenegro.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/service\/mortgage-in-spain\">Mortgages<\/a> add another piece to the picture. The rate on a 20-year fixed-rate loan is <strong>3.30%<\/strong> in Spain and <strong>5.38%<\/strong> in Montenegro. Mortgage payments account for about <strong>58%<\/strong> of the average income in Spain and <strong>109%<\/strong> in Montenegro. Yes, more than 100%. That means an average local resident would struggle to afford a typical apartment without family support or income from abroad. The loan affordability index also favours Spain: <strong>1.73<\/strong> compared with <strong>0.91<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you view property as an <a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/service\/investing-in-property-in-spain\">investment<\/a>, Spain has maintained its lead for another year. Gross rental yield in city centres is <strong>5.06%<\/strong> compared with <strong>4.43%<\/strong>; outside the centre, it is <strong>6.25%<\/strong> versus <strong>4.69%<\/strong>. A difference of one and a half percentage points in the suburbs is more than a statistical blip \u2013 it could mean an extra holiday each year.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"cta-block\"><em>Thinking about buying property in Spain?

The gap between the two countries in Numbeo\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/articles\/how-does-the-healthcare-system-work-in-spain\">healthcare index<\/a> is substantial, and it reflects several factors. Staff competence: <strong>80<\/strong> points versus <strong>40<\/strong>. Modern diagnostic and treatment equipment: <strong>85<\/strong> versus <strong>41<\/strong>. Speed of examinations: <strong>66<\/strong> versus <strong>39<\/strong>. All favour Spain.<\/p>\n<p>Even waiting times for medical services \u2013 a familiar headache in any healthcare system \u2013 are rated more favourably in Spain: <strong>52.6<\/strong> versus <strong>36.3<\/strong>. And there\u2019s another positive: satisfaction with the cost of treatment is <strong>84.5<\/strong> in Spain and <strong>61.5<\/strong> in Montenegro. People are satisfied not only with the quality of care, but also with what they pay for it.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, when you\u2019re 25 and full of energy, medical care may not be top of mind. But if you have <a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/articles\/news\/the-life-of-retirees-in-spain\">older parents<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/articles\/city-of-spain\/life-in-spain-with-children\">young child<\/a>, or you need access to specialist care yourself, it can become the deciding factor. Many people who move later in life say their decision in favour of Spain was made in a doctor\u2019s office, not on the <a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/articles\/beaches-of-costa-blanca\">beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/articles\/insurance-companies-in-spain\">health insurance in Spain<\/a> in our dedicated guide.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"safety\">Which Country Is Safer?<\/h2>\n<p>To be fair, Montenegro scores somewhat better on safety. Its safety index is <strong>66.76<\/strong>, compared with <strong>61.82<\/strong> for Spain. People generally feel safe walking around during the day in both countries (<strong>79<\/strong> versus <strong>85<\/strong>), while the difference is more noticeable at night: <strong>57<\/strong> in Spain and almost <strong>73<\/strong> in Montenegro. Montenegro also has a lower crime index.<\/p>\n<p>One caveat is worth mentioning. Spain is about <strong>36.5<\/strong> times larger than Montenegro, and both countries vary considerably from region to region, geographically and socio-economically. The nature of that variation differs greatly because of the countries\u2019 very different sizes. In Montenegro, some sections of the data are based on only a few dozen respondents and others on a couple of hundred; in Spain, the numbers run into the thousands. In a small country, the sample is small, so the resulting estimate is approximate. Still, Numbeo\u2019s general picture matches what we see: in Spain\u2019s resort towns, it pays to take the usual precautions you would in any tourist destination; Montenegro tends to feel calmer. In either country, though, the chances of ending up in a crime report are not particularly high.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"climate-environment\">Which Has the Better Climate and Environment?<\/h2>\n<p>Both countries score highly for climate: <strong>92.96<\/strong> for Spain and <strong>89.21<\/strong> for Montenegro. The difference is barely noticeable. Those sunny days are, after all, one of the main reasons people consider moving in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>The environmental comparison is more nuanced. Spain\u2019s pollution index is <strong>32.38<\/strong> (low), while Montenegro\u2019s is <strong>43.54<\/strong> (moderate). It\u2019s not a dramatic difference, but it is there. On the other hand, commuting takes less time in Montenegro: the commute-time index is <strong>19.56<\/strong> compared with <strong>26.21<\/strong>. That makes sense: it\u2019s a compact country with smaller cities, and most places are within easy reach.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"overall-score\">How Do the Countries Compare Overall?<\/h2>\n<p>Spain\u2019s overall quality-of-life index is noticeably higher, but let\u2019s not turn the comparison into a football match. Montenegro comes out ahead on cost of living, safety and shorter distances. Spain scores better on salaries, healthcare, air quality, mortgages and property investment potential.<\/p>\n<p>Put simply, Montenegro may suit people looking for a quiet, close-knit life by the sea, who earn their income abroad \u2013 especially from the EU or the <a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/articles\/spain-vs-usa-immigration-comparison\">United States<\/a> \u2013 and value short journeys and a slower pace. It feels like a cosy home you\u2019re glad to return to.<\/p>\n<p>Spain offers more in the way of opportunity. You can work, raise a family, access healthcare with greater peace of mind, <a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/articles\/mortgage-in-spain-2026\">take out a mortgage<\/a> at a more manageable rate and <a href=\"https:\/\/alegria-realestate.com\/en\/service\/buying-property-in-spain-as-a-foreigner\">buy property<\/a> that may hold its value over time. You don\u2019t have to choose between the sea and good infrastructure: Spain\u2019s coast has both.<\/p>\n<p>One final point: Numbeo\u2019s figures are collected from users, so they shouldn\u2019t be treated as definitive. They do, however, offer a useful picture of the broader trends.<\/p>\n<p><em>At Alegr\u00eda, we see the appeal of both countries, and we\u2019re not trying to drag you to Spain by force \u2013 although, we\u2019ll admit, we\u2019re pretty good at making a case for it.
