Where in Spain should I work remotely? Looking for somewhere warm and laid back to learn the language and culture. Andalusia seems cool especially Granada or Seville.

Marbella. Beach, sun, excellent place.

Simple as
Marbella is too expensive for most brit bongs, they usually go to Torremolinos.
Marbella is fine but expect to pay more than other cities for rent/entertainment.
Cadiz/Almeria are all dumps filled with moroccan refugees and Blackids
Alicante/Benidorm are party towns, you'll deal with drunken retards every single night and it's not that fun of a vibe after a week there.
Valencia is boring, think of it as Saint-Etienne in France, it's a big town but with fuckall of interest in it.
Barcelona is overrun by refugees too i don't know why you guys like it so much, i almost got mugged on my first night there by 2 moroccans who followed me, i got to my hotel soon enough so they fucked off. Mind you it was only 8pm in the evening and i just had dinner lol.
Asturias are nice and the best in the country imo, Gijon, Santander, Oviedo are all chill vibe and the best quality of life you can get in Spain, plus there's more nature and beaches and a fuck ton less refugees.
If you need a big city, go to Madrid over Barcelona, it still has some charm to it.
Southern Spain is overrated especially in the summer, its too hot and overcrowded by the worst kinds of tourists. Northern Spain is where its at cooler, beautiful landscapes, still has great beaches, nice people and the best food, wine and cider.
What cities besides Barcelona would you recommend?
Santander, San Sebastian for beaches
Gijon, Oviedo for food and culture (and very attractive women)
Coruña is also worth a visit and Lugo/Santiago if you're into history.
Have to agree, Andalusia in the summer heat makes it clear why siesta is still a thing.
I plan to be in Gijon, A Coruna, Oviedo and Vigo the entirety of October. Will the weather suck?
I mean it will rain but its usually not a day long affair and it shouldn't be cold.
Valencia is getting a lot of hype among expats recently, it's much cheaper than Madrid or Barcelona but still a big city, with nice beaches in the area, tons of young people (big uni there) and historical places.
I'm more interested in Salamanca, Leon, Burgos myself, those places somehow feel closer to the heart of medieval Spain for me, less crowded with tourists. Toledo is a great city for a daytrip, but I think it's a bit small to actually live there.
>I'm more interested in Salamanca, Leon, Burgos myself, those places somehow feel closer to the heart of medieval Spain for me
Sounds really nice to me, I tend to like smaller cities as long as I can make friends. I have relatives in Valencia so I think I'll fly into Barca and check out there and a few other places before deciding where to chill for a bit.
Valencia has absolutely nothing of interest.
Madrid as a foreigner I'm not sure how it would be, but as a local I would heavily be against it, when there are better options like Malaga, or basically any coastal city in Catalonia outside of high season. If beach is out of the question, the north of spain (Basque country, Cantabria, Navarra) BTFOs big cities in QoL, and there are airports around there.
This anon is 100% correct.
>t.spaniard
>t. madrilANO
why do you people love malaga so goddamn much
i mean, anything is better than madrid but lmao
>t. madrilANO
Not even close.
toro playa paella flamenco ole ole hola una beerro por favour
btw I'm trans, if any of you were wondering
what's the necessary budget for working remotely here? Are you European?
Don't go to Barcelona. Canarias is cheaper than Ibiza, Madrid is cool, try to go to a bullfight. Also be careful with the Gipsies and the Moroccans
>Canarias
I forgot about this. There are some islands that are becoming a dig-nomad hotspot in the Canaries, one of the best being Tenerife. I was there for maybe a week, wonderful little island, I would recommend you consider it among your options. The only downside is you're stuck in the islands (though there's cheap ferries between them) and making it to the mainland is a chore.
Another great destination is Malaga, another little gem not yet overrun by tourism. Much cheaper than the big cities and again, tons of stuff to do, great beaches, amazing weather.
Yes avoid Barcelona, especially when Valencia exists. Barcelona has more history and attractions but its a mess of a city and tourists are a part of what ruins it once you become a local. I've lived in both and even though Valencia is super touristy its honestly a much nicer place to live and you can live just a bit outside the city if you don't like crowds.
Another solid shout is Alicante which will be what Valencia is now but in like 15 years, unless global warming cooks Spain for good
>tourists are a part of what ruins it once you become a local
I’m exactly that, I came to Barcelona as a tourist last year, I now live here, except I don’t hate tourists, I think it’s what makes the city feel alive and a great exciting place to be.
I get it from long standing locals, people that have been there for generations, why they don’t like tourists, I can’t stand the digital nomads and what not that move in and THEN take it upon themselves to hate tourists, because it’s seen as the normal local position.
Potes if you want a real hidden gem
What about Malaga?
I loved the city and want to spend the winter there. It's clean, cheap and located directly at the beach with amazing weather.
Obviously during summer I'd avoid it, but I would say it's the perfect place in Europe to spent any other season but summer.
>amazing weather
it's a humid 35C right now, the UV index is high (which actually matters for white people) and the winter is miserably humid and windy
why do you sun hungry naggers glorify this place so goddamn much, i am hoping to get out ASAP
>work remotely
if you like beach - Malaga/Torrevieja, otherwise Madrid
Seville
I am in Granada righr now, I don't want to leave.
I don't get the Barcelona hate, I had a good time there but I also went in 2022 before the cruise ships were even coming back. I also went in the off season. Fucking going to any large tourist destination during peak tourist months. I never got hounded by a street vendor or anything a single time.
