hey, hi Claudia! I started this process this month. I’m trying to handle it on my own, gathering the paperwork and getting ready to submit it. You’ve already started it? how has it been going for you?

simitandchill 5mo

Anyone in Valencia?

notaplatypus 5mo

Hi kind of a shot in the dark but if anyone here likes jigsaw puzzles and could be interested in entering the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championship this year as a pair with me, hit me up! It's in Valladolid Spain, a 1+ hour train journey from Madrid, and dates are September 17-19. Early bird registration ends today May 31

xeniabadrep 5mo

Hey there! Anyone on Gran Canaria these days? Would love to meet some like-minded founders for coffee or a shitty game of padel (I'll do the shitty part 😏)

pablocampe 5mo

Anyone in León for coffee or whatever. Ill be here for a long time, dont dude to contact me

ramadis 4mo

Hey guys, does anyone know what's the most cost-effective way to convert cash USD to EUR?

lorenzoq 4mo

Possibly Revolut or Wise

spanishmain 4mo

What apps will let you get a movifone esim? So far I can only find Vodafone and my place in the middle of nowhere Andalusia is pretty weak on Vodafone.

spanishmain 4mo

👋 also hi

leonox 4mo

Cash withdrawal from HSBC or Schwab is usually better than Revolut

willtonkin 4mo

Any links to the useful WhatsApp groups in Tarifa?

stobitobi 4mo

Hey, I'm looking for an apartment for a month in Valencia.
Ideally from 29.08. - 30.09.2026.
If anybody knows someone, just write me a message 😊

antunesmatheus9 4mo

Hey everyone, heading to Gran Canaria this weekend, staying for 2 months, someone living there?

nerdontour 4mo

Hey Dan, do you mean Movistar? If so, then they currently don’t offer eSIMs for tourists and prepaid customers. You need to be a Spanish resident and have a contract with them.

If you need to find an eSIM with a better coverage in Spain, then consider researching on esimDB. In the coverage section, they list which operators are used for the specific travel eSIM plan.

spanishmain 4mo

Cool thanks!

spanishmain 4mo

That's helpful

facundoday 4mo

Use Esim.io, it connects to the fastest antenna

critoco 4mo

How you doing any places to stay you recommend in las Palmas?

critoco 4mo

Anyone in sevilla or torremolinos?

dccb 4mo

Their website is the best resource
https://www.movistar.es/tarifas-moviles/esim

You can use a translator to read it.

In the esim Q&A, it states that one can get an esim on a prepaid basis, but one has to visit a movistar shop. In the shop they will create the QR code for you.

In short, a prepaid movistar esim is not available online.

Hi folks! Anyone here ever insured their car or motorbike in Spain with Linea Directa?? If so, are they good ?? Thanks !

tuvidaparadisia 3mo

I had línea directa when I was living (more than 8 years ago) there and was happy with them

ffisch 3mo

Hi folks! Anyone in Llanes? Tips on where to work from?

yelyzaveta 3mo

Hi all! Is anyone currently in Madrid? How’s the situation there now with the fires and everything else?

Hopefully, everyone is safe 🙏

yvowander 3mo

There are fires around Madrid and the firefighters are actively trying to contain these while some people are being asked to evacuate. This is for some places around the capital.

Within the city of Madrid itself it’s mostly the smog that’s a problem. So people are being asked to close their windows and/or wear a mask outside.

yvowander 3mo

Me! Currently have an insurance with them. No problems, but I also haven’t needed their services yet (thankfully). But my first impressions were that their service is good and they also have an English speaking customer service number.

tomjamesdj 3mo

Hey guys! I’m thinking of living in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria this Oct/Nov. 🇮🇨

How is the nomad community there? I remember after Covid it seemed to be thriving, but now I’m struggling to find evidence of that online.

I don’t particularly need community there, I’m just interested on the vibe.

bohdandrozdov 3mo

I spent there month in winter, the community is very small

limextapa 3mo

Im a big fan of the Canary Islands (for a limited period of time), particularly if you are into nature, hiking, and surfing, etc. The digital nomad community is not large compared to other parts of the world, but I'd still recommend spending time there and even doing island hopping. Spend some time in Tenerife and Lanzarote, for example.

tomjamesdj 3mo

Amazing, thank you so much guys.

Yeah, I mainly just want to stay there for a month and work out really hard, and do some cycling and running around the island.

Any community is a bonus, but I will probably get that with gym anyway.

Would you guys have any recommendations for a CrossFit/Hyrox box in Las Palmas? I ask because there are many good ones there and not sure how to pick! 🤣

oriolgarciago 3mo

I can recommend Nine coliving in Tenerife if you're open to explore other Canary islands 🙂

Hi, i am looking for a co-working space in/near Pals. Any recommendations?

malikchohra 3mo

Hey, any recommendations for a coliving space in Valencia for September ?

outandabout 3mo

Hey hey! Looking to solve the rather unenjoyable challenge of getting and traveling with ADHD stimulants as a nomad. Ideally I'd like to have 2-3 prescribers that are happy supplying me as a non-resident, one of which would be Barcelona. Does anyone know of someone who would be not too opposed to prescribing? I used to be a resident of Spain so I'm not completely foreign to the system.

bohdandrozdov 3mo

there are online clinics that can help with prescriptions

outandabout 3mo

In Spain? Could you link me to one?

outandabout 3mo

Champion 👏

outandabout 3mo

have you used these for ADHD medication? Or just other prescriptions?

bohdandrozdov 3mo

for other prescription drugs, not adhd

outandabout 3mo

Ah right, yeah controlled substances are a different beast unfortunately

pablos 3mo

Anyone in Marbella ?

mamane19 3mo

Hello here. Anyone who’s gone through the Spain digital nomad visa process!?

mferrerisaza 2mo

Hey there!

Any good cafés in Malaga to work for a couple of hours?

pablitxn 2mo

Hi! I'm in the process right now! I started on my own a month ago.

aluther 2mo

Hello, is anyone here in or around San Sebastián?

I’m visiting soonish and looking for recommendations

michelbroersma 2mo

Anyone in marbella right now?

lida 2mo

Hola 👋 in Barcelona since Mon and staying two more weeks. If anyone's around let me know

beelaitch 2mo

holiii i asked in the thailand channel but asking here too - anyone here have both the spanish digital nomad visa and the thai DTV ? i have the spanish and am applying for the DTV. want to hear if anyone had any blockers while applying ? most concerned about spanish side more than thai side. gracias

dustinoverbeck 2mo

I don’t have the Thai DTV but do have the Spanish nomad visa.

You will likely need to pay Spanish taxes if you’re living in Spain for at least 183 days in a calendar year.

That’s as much as I know

beelaitch 2mo

hey dustin, yeh i am already fully registered and paid to date etc i’ve been here for 4 years, its more whether spain will find concept of me potentially being in thailand for an extended period (but still less than 183 days) as a red flag.

beelaitch 2mo

forgot to tag you ^

tristant 2mo

Hi I'm looking for a ~1 month sublet/rental in Valencia starting somewhere in Oct. Anyone know a good website other than airnb/fb groups to look?

stephenc90 2mo

Idealista? it helped me out before

nthnjns 2mo

Try setting your Airbnb search to 32 nights. I think that becomes a different type of listing category and the prices/inventory change. At least it works this way in some other cities. I noticed Valencia was absurdly priced when you look for 30 days or less...

tristant 2mo

thanks that's a great tip

tristant 2mo

I've used idealista to find other 1 month stays in tarifa for example, but for some reason in valencia most I've messaged said minimum 3 month stay.. but you do find the best deals on there, also sublets

alexsun 2mo

try https://www.homeclub.com or theblueground.com as well.

emrahkurt 2mo

Hey guys. I wanna some help. Anyone who can help me ?

ffisch 2mo

Hi there, anyone in Bilbao for Aste Nagusia?

malikchohra 2mo

Hey guys,

Is there any recommendations for ur hidden gems spots in Valencia? ( restaurants, coworking , gym, events,..)

loictakito 2mo

Hey guys! Any of you in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria? I’d love to meet other locals or international living there - I just moved :)

sophiascheuber 2mo

I will be there from January till March 27 😊

pmaster 1mo

Looking for a 1, 2, 3, or 4 bed sublease or long term furnished lease for Barcelona starting Sept or Oct in case anyone has any recs. Airbnb isn’t bad

alexkocch 1mo

Longterm look on idealista, if only for a few months ukio can be good but they charge a bit higher prices. Paid for my 4 bedroom apartment 4,000Euro+ per month (with the fees included afaik)

pmaster 1mo

wow - sounds awesome

davidnagy 1mo

hey! Been based here for a few years now... how time flies. Hahaha.

Feel free to DM me. Also you can check the Canary Islands channel, as that exists separate from Spain ;)

baranbbr 1mo

Hey all, does anyone have any connections for an apartment in Valencia? Looking for December-February

stefanmanku 1mo

Hola! I've arrived in Barcelona for 3 months... Up for meeting folks and considering organising a meetup if there's a few people here - let me know!

orlandopantoja 1mo

Hey guys! Planning a one month trip to spain, working remotely 10 days aproximately. Any tips? My itinerary for the moment is divided between Barcelona, Madrid, and maybe Alicante?

catalin 30d

Hi, I am looking for a place from october

indyniels 30d

Madrid if you want to enjoy a more cultural-ish approach to Spain. Barcelona is being overdone and too touristy imo, but it depends on your preferences . Alicante is nice (i'm from alicante ! ). Very chill and best weather this time of year. Go to Playa San Juan (plenty or airbnbs) if you want a more relaxed outpace. And you can go to downtown from time to time.

cotealexandra11 25d

hey everyone, does anyone have a cheap but decent car rental to recommend for a month stay in mallorca? thanks

limextapa 24d

Centauro

shuvro 19d

Hey guys, I have started living in Barcelona. Would love to meet folks over the weekend.

mccrinbc 19d

Hey everyone! I am new to the process of moving ot Spain, but I am planning to move to Barcelona with my partner. We are having a lot of trouble finding an apartment and I was wondering if anyone here has any advice, or knows of any opportunities to rent in Barca / surrounding area. Thanks a ton!

shuvro 18d

It is really hard to find an apartment while you are not here

shuvro 18d

I would say, you first come to Barcelona, get into an Airbnb or coliving space and start searching for an apartment while you are here. It's too competitive to get an apartment as most of the apartments are booked within 10 minutes of the advertisement

shuvro 18d

Also, it's full of scammers so without visiting the apartment physically, it's too risky to rent something

snehadesilva 14d

I want to learn Spanish

hiradm 14d

Currently living in Barcelona. My recommendation is go somewhere else 😂️️️️️️

minonomad 13d

why?

borjasc 8d

I'm a Spaniard who recently moved back to Madrid. If anyone's down to meet over coffee or something else this weekend me know! 😁

horacioh 7d

Not specifically but I’m sure there are some people at runroom or the events they organize!

lakisha 6d

It’s not so easy. I can recommend using Badi and idealista

markosullivan94 4d

I've never used Badi before, what's it like?

martinc 4d

I stayed in a Badi room for 3 months in barcelona

Apartment decently renovated - kinda just looks like a Zara home catalog
Prices way higher than what a local would pay (typical for the <11 month rentals vs long term rentals)
It's a decent option if you can afford it and need a place

I ended up switching to a Muppy apartment afterwards and it was comparable quality and a bit cheaper

martinc 4d

In my experience with these short/medium term rental companies in spain - the main issues arose from my roommates who were stretching their budget renting at those prices and thinking they were entitled to a higher quality/luxury

In the end they all charge higher prices than local rentals because the short term rentals are less regulated than long term and they can rent to outsiders who can bear the higher costs - as long as you take them for what they are then they're all good places to live - if you go in thinking "I'm paying (€1200-€2000)/mo, this company better bend over backwards for me and obey my every request" then you'll be disappointed

srg_b 2d

Hi folks. Any of you ever spent any time in Fuerteventura? Where did you stay and how did you like it? We are thinking of Lajares.

lakisha 1d

It’s like tinder. You search for rooms or flats and if you like it you give it a like and if they like you as well, it’s a match.

Then you can text each other.
I found so far always my flats there when I wanted to go to Barcelona. Less scamy than Facebook groups.

lakisha 1d

Another thing is digital nomads Barcelona. They have a WhatsApp chat for short and longterm rentals, it’s not so competitive and quite useful. If I don’t find something on Badi I always use this

lakisha 1d

Sorry for the late answer 😇🧚‍♂️

lakisha 1d

PS. I was not talking about the expensive Badi luxury apartments. I was talking about the cheap 600€ per month rooms 😅

lakisha 11h

PPS. you’ll find the WhatsApp group if you search them on insta. I am not in the group anymore since I finally found something. 🫶🏾
