Who is a DIGITAL NOMAD?
Digital nomads are teleworkers, also called remote workers, so they work from anywhere with only a computer, a phone and an internet connection. They adopt a nomadic lifestyle for varying periods of time and work from different locations around the world thanks to technological advances.
Rather than working in a face-to-face office or headquarters, they have the advantage of being able to travel around the world using shared connections via their smartphones, free networks in public spaces or even in cafes and bars.
It is generally the new generations and the self-employed who are adept at this practice. But more and more, companies accept this kind of practice for their employees. The latter has developed and democratized in large part during the Covid period.
The main advantages of leading a digital nomad life are the freedom and autonomy in work, the possibility to travel, to explore many places, to meet people and discover new cultures all year long. It is also a way to find inspiration for your projects. Telecommuting is a way to try to find the best balance between professional life and personal development.
Which is the best place to live as a digital nomad in Spain?
Spain is the ideal destination for Digital Nomads. Most of those who have lived the experience would like to never give it an end. It's a set of life advantages that holds them back. But what is the best place to live and thrive?
It is simply Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and off the coast of Africa. There is nothing better than to make your dream come true and live on an island full of resources and good energy to bring you.
First of all, it is obviously the climate that is the first cause of this blossoming. Indeed, Spain has a Mediterranean climate that favors sports and outdoor activities. This is also an asset for remote workers who can make the terraces of cafes in the city, or even a van or camper in the countryside, their "office".
Secondly, you will have the chance to discover and practice many activities like surfing, yoga, beach volleyball, paragliding, hiking and much more. Gran Canaria is also home to secret beaches, surfing spots and snorkeling to die for. There's plenty to do in your free time to relax, unwind and to blossom throughout your trip
Gran Canaria has a culture that has been built up over the years with festivals, local celebrations and a varied gastronomy. You will be able to integrate quickly and live your Spanish trip to the fullest.
In addition, Gran Canaria has the advantage of having a low cost of living, which makes it easy to find food and lodging. This encourages you to have a more dynamic life: make excursions on the island and vary the activities during your days off.
Secondly, you have access to a wide range of choices regarding the style of accommodation you are looking for. You will find many hostels, hotels, separate apartments, studios or even places to park your van or camper.
Finally, Spain also has the advantage of being well equipped in terms of broadband network and has a large number of free places where the internet connection is free of charge: cafes, libraries, restaurants, fast foods, stores, cultural centers, leisure centers, etc. So you can work wherever you are on the island.
