I'm planning to work remotely in Europe this summer for 1-3 months.

Currently zoning in on Portugal and coastal towns of Spain / France. Specifically looking at doing some combination of a few of these spots: Maderia, Portugal beach towns, Basque country, Bidart, Biarritz.

Anyone have any favorite recs that would be cool to check out to work remotely? I'm single and I'm in my early 30s.

San Sebastián is a must. Also check out Alicante on the Costa Blanca

I was partial to northwest Spain. Why? Spectacular coastlines. Some of the provinces are "green" as opposed to the arid, dry look you see in a lot of locations in Spain.

The cities of Bilbao and San Sebastian are fabulous places in the Basque Country. The coastline of the Community of Asturias is spectacular. And you're close to the stunning Picos de Europa mountain range.

I'm not sure what kind of work you do and to be honest I haven't been to europe in 4 years, but their internet standards were not close to the USA especially outside of the big cities at that point. If you need good reliable internet (25+Mbps reliably (which isnt that fast)) you really need to ask. If you can work in an internet cafe thats fine, but that would get old as hell to me quickly.

ETA: your big hotels especially in big cities will be normal generally speaking. I'm more talking about say an airbnb type of place outside of a big city or really anywhere. It may say "free internet", but I often experienced that as almost unusable as in dial up quality at times.

Other than that sounds awesome.

I'm not sure how much work you are doing, but if you have a lot to do then personally I'd strongly consider one central location and just traveling long weekends.

1-3 months is really not a lot of time when you add in work and down time.

If you stay in one location you can find a reasonable long term apart and save, and you could make some friends and find some local hang out spots. Just a thought
