Cost of Living in A Coruña, Spain: A Real Monthly Budget

A Coruña is one of the most livable and least discussed cities in Spain, and that shows up in the numbers. For a single person, realistic baseline living costs run from roughly $1,000 to $1,400 a month including rent, depending on lifestyle.

Rent

A one-bedroom apartment in the city centre averages around €650-€740 a month; outside the centre, expect €500-€600. Rent here runs roughly 40% lower than in Berlin and is dramatically below Madrid or Barcelona prices.

Food and groceries

A single person spends about €200-€300 a month on groceries, helped by cheap, excellent seafood. Eating out is affordable too: a menú del día lunch runs €10-€15, and a coffee is about €1.50-€2.

Utilities and transport

Basic utilities (electricity, water, heating, internet) typically add up to €100-€150 a month. A monthly public transport pass is around €30-€40, and the city is compact enough that many residents walk most places.

Putting it together

A single professional living comfortably but not lavishly can expect a realistic monthly budget of about €1,100-€1,300 ($1,200-$1,400), rent included. Couples typically land closer to €1,600-€1,900 combined.
