Spain becomes the best place in Europe for digital nomads

August 21, 2021

Remote old villages. Digital nomads. They were made for each other. 

The villages need people who spend money without taking a local job. The nomads need a beautiful, quiet place to work, live and experience what it’s like to live in a traditional setting. 

That’s why some 30 villages in Spain — each with fewer than 5,000 residents — formed an organization called the “National Network of Welcoming Villages for Remote workers.”

Communities across Europe have embraced the digital nomad movement, especially in Italy. But Spain’s program is different. 

The site is similar to AirBnB, showing how many guest houses are available in each town, and enabling nomads to book a place. 

The Spanish program offers up a local resident host to serve as a liaison for nomads, connecting them with life in the town. 

This program gets at the heart of the digital nomad and Gastronomad lifestyle. You can forget the mobs of tourists in Barcelona. Instead, visit the real Spain where locals will greet you with open arms. 

The organization is totally compatible with a new “Startups  Law” that enables digital nomads to stay and work in Spain for up to two years at a time. 

Suddenly, Spain moves to the front of the line as a great place for digital nomads to temporarily live.
