For a digital nomad, a laptop, good internet connection, and a global community to feel at home is all that it takes to make any country their nomadic stop. And guess what, our next destination has it all and more!
If there is one thing everyone knows about Spain is that it is a little different from the rest of Europe. Indeed, the country is home to some of the sunniest cities, the warmest people and the most multicultural provinces. What’s more, Spain’s digital nomad visa is anticipated to be available from 2022 Spring-Summer onwards and it will allow international workers to stay, travel, and work with a foreign company in Spain for up to 3 years.
As if that wasn’t attractive enough, the program National Network of Welcoming Villages for Remote Workers is yet another initiative for digital nomads to work and stay in no less than 30 beautiful villages of Spain. So, let’s ride together and find out some of the most digital nomad-friendly destinations in Spain before you decide where to stay and enjoy your nomadic life!

One of the most important perks of any place that a digital nomad looks forward to is its connectivity.

With Pyrenees mountains and the famous Balearic Islands within reach, you can always take a break from city life and find relaxation in nature.
