Didn’t they just have a government program to sell houses in certain cities to foreigners for 1€ because nobody in their cities would buy them? Only under the condition that they had to fix them up in a certain time period?

Yup, I was told by a Spanish colleague that there are actually houses available in the country, but they are in the rural or less accessible places with little to no opportunities.
