Working Remotely in Europe
Posted on 2/2/22 at 9:34 pm

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.

"Single and I'm in my early 30s." To me, no question though, Barcelona is a huge city but it has it all.

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'd add Vitoria-Gasteiz to San Sebastian and Bilbao. Just stunning.

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

All of the above. I have a customer in Vitoria and we used to stay in San Sebastian. Great place, nice people, good food. Only been in cold months, I would love to swim in that giant bay (the west one) in San Sebastian.

Appreciate all the recs and comments.
Sounds like the North Coast regions of Spain are the spots. Big fan of beach towns and appreciate the greener locations with outdoor options. I've only heard awesome things about San Sebastian and the surrounding areas, so will zone in on those.
Will prob end up splitting half the time in Portugal since it gets me one hour closer to US and apparently there's a solid digital nomad scene there.

I loved my time in Asturias in Spain. Wanted to go to the coastal community of Galicia but didn't make it. That would actually be closer to Portugal and an area to research. Supposedly beautiful coastline. Seafood. Green.
Complete "paradigm shift" here...
Why not consider Croatia? Been once and loved the country.
Coastal wise, only spent some time in Opatija. Beautiful coastal town. So many coastal towns I didn't get to see.
Croatia's "Digital Nomad" Visa.
Working Remote.

Do you like to surf? Or want to learn to surf?

Malaga is awesome

I hadn't really considered Croatia. Been there once and loved it. Will check it out more.
I do like to "try" to surf. I hear Portugal has some good spots. Got any recs?
