Yes, it is more expensive. Other bearings are also available over here, but importing these costs too... and then there is sales tax which in Spain is 21%. In Norway its 25%. And gas is 10 bucks a gallon. Don't get me started.
Insaro has a single bearing that costs about €790 plus tax including a new RMS and no warranty. The double version is around €1275 plus tax with 3 year warranty and including a new RMS. IIRC the Spanish distributor of LN's bearing also gets about €800, so apples to apples the single bearings cost about the same purchased here. Its not realistic for us to compare anything to US prices, that can get a little depressing.
