The new Spain Digital Nomad Visa opens many doors for remote workers and digital nomads who wish to stay in the country. But with all the beautiful cities, islands and towns in Spain, where do you choose to start your new life?
Here are the Top 5 Locations we recommend for digital nomads and remote workers in Spain:
5. Madrid
Spain’s capital is a major hub for finance, university research, technology, fashion, and more – therefore it has become a great destination for digital nomads and remote workers alike.
Madrid is the biggest city in Spain, but has an easy-going and relaxed lifestyle, completely different from other major European capitals. The city is also home to many parks such as the El Retiro Park, and surrounding greenery to explore.
Madrid is home to some of the most famous museums, including the Golden Triangle of Art. Historic baroque and art deco architecture can be seen throughout the city, combined with modern transportation to get you anywhere you would like to go.
Madrid has a great nightlife, amazing food, and a safe environment for single travelers.
For digital nomads and remote workers, Madrid has many coworking and coliving spaces for affordable prices, and fast Wifi throughout the city.
Many active digital nomad meetups are held in Madrid, and multiple Facebook groups exist for the community.

4. Seville
Boasting a relaxed, old Spain feel, Seville is an affordable choice for remote workers and digital nomads. The city has become the major business center for the southern region of Spain.
The locals are very welcoming to travelers, and have been able to preserve much of the city’s authentic culture.
For nomads who look to learn about history, Seville is a great option. Its wealth of historical attractions, combination of baroque and arabesque architecture, and low cost of living makes it a favorite destination.
Seville also offers great nightlife, excellent food, and a relatively safe tourist environment – with the influx of tourism petty theft and pickpocketing is an issue.

3. Barcelona
The Catalan capital of Spain, Barcelona is a well known digital nomad destination. With digital nomads and remote workers flocking to the beautiful beaches, rich history, amazing culture, and world-class shopping.
Barcelona is one of the most significant technological hubs in Spain, so it is a great location for nomads in this area of work. And, with the already established digital nomad community, the city is a great place to network.
The city has many UNESCO World Heritage sites to visit, great art attractions, a great nightlife to enjoy, and good transportation for those who are living outside the city center.
Barcelona is a very diverse city, and the balance between leisure and city life is one of the main reasons many remote workers and digital nomads visit.
Aside from that, there are also many events, a designated Facebook group, great coworking spaces, and good Wifi.

2. Tenerife
The largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife offers beautiful natural surroundings, the highest peaks in Spain, as well as many activities to partake in. Watersports is widely available on the islands, and there are many great hiking trails as well.
The cost of living on the island depends greatly on lifestyle choice, but the island is overall very affordable.
For digital nomads and remote workers who enjoy a quieter lifestyle, the northern area of the island is recommended, while the southern area offers an exciting nightlife to those who enjoy a busier lifestyle. Though one can easily travel between the two, as the two sides of the island are a mere 1 hour drive apart.
Tenerife also has widely available, fast Wifi, multiple coworking spaces, and a Facebook group that shares upcoming events and activities for the community. The island is also very safe for single travelers.
