Barcelona
Mediterranean coast hub with the Spanish nomad visa.
Barcelona combines coastal living with a substantial local tech ecosystem. The Spanish Digital Nomad Visa launched in 2023 has made the city a preferred destination for remote engineers from outside the EU. Cost of living is materially lower than Madrid, with rents around 25 to 35 percent below central Madrid.
