Canary Islands
If you've ever dreamed about moving to paradise, you may well have imagined an island. This Spanish archipelago is formed of eight islands in the middle of the Atlantic. You'll fall in love with its volcanic landscapes, its beaches, its ancient laurel forests, its four national parks, its clear skies (the Canary Islands are among the best places in the world for stargazing) and its ideal temperatures, which fluctuate between 18ºC in February and 25ºC in August. It's known as the land of eternal spring. You'll find high-speed internet connections on each of the islands. The smallest islands like El Hierro or La Gomera are a refuge of tranquillity, while the largest like Tenerife or Gran Canaria host cities full of life. You'll also find lots of shared office spaces for coworking, where you can meet other professionals and develop your creativity. Some of these spaces offer Spanish classes, digital marketing training courses and evening or weekend activities. Moreover, places to stay on these islands are increasingly offering special rates for longer stays. As well as working, you can enjoy hotel services like pools, gyms and spas. You'll also find options to share flats and houses with other people similar to you, on independent contracts. In comparison to other European cities, the cost of living on these islands is low, and they are also well connected thanks to their international airports like Gran Canaria, Tenerife South and Tenerife North. All of this has led the benchmark platform Nomad List, among others, to place the Canary Islands among the best destinations in the world for remote working.

Andalusia
The south of Spain, which was already a popular holiday destination thanks to its good climate and many heritage cities (such as Seville, Cordoba, Granada and Malaga), has now also become a great option for remote working. In the city of Malaga, the birthplace of the famous painter Pablo Picasso (in fact, you can visit two museums there dedicated to him), you'll find endless interesting tourist attractions like the Alcazaba palace-fortress, the Cathedral and the famous Marqués de Larios shopping street.
