Welcoming towns for remote working

none

Spain is an excellent option for digital nomads and remote workers, and when you are looking for a rural setting, with a quieter pace of life, to work from. Thanks to the project of the National Network of Welcoming Towns, you will be able to easily find small towns that offer what you need to work remotely, as well as leisure options for your spare time.

Remote work from a village or town? Yes, you can do it!

The chance to meet and live in different locations is one of the many advantages of remote working. In Spain, through the Network of Welcoming Towns, you find municipalities with up to 5,000 inhabitants where a series of minimum criteria and standards are met for remote work (3G/4G coverage, Wi-Fi connections in spaces, type of connection from companies to individuals, etc). But there is more: these are places that boast nature, cultural spaces and services that make everyday life easier (doctor's surgeries, supermarkets, bars, training centres, associations and volunteering, etc.). Fancy a change? In addition to working remotely, in these towns, you can enjoy the quality of life and tranquility typical of rural areas.

If you feel like disconnecting...

Culture, nature, gastronomy, popular festivals, bike routes, hiking... Disconnecting after working hours will be very easy in the Welcoming Towns. You will find towns that stand out for their typical architecture, their monuments or their cultural legacy, such as Sigüenza (Guadalajara), Covarrubias (Burgos), El Burgo de Osma (Soria) and Madrigal de las Altas Torres (Avila). In others you will have the mountains as a backdrop, for example, in Tejeda (Gran Canaria) and the white villages of Genalguacil and Tolox, near the Sierra de las Nieves National Park (Malaga). And some of them are part of well-known tourist routes, such as: Belorado (Burgos) is along the Camino de Santiago, while Paredes de Nava (Palencia) is on the historical path of the Canal of Castile, and San Vicente de la Sonsierra is located in the region of the Rioja Alta Wine Route. All these sites are just some of the best towns for remote working in Spain.
