Where's everyone living these days? We are considering a move to Spain and have done research on the main cities, but curious to see where you all have settled and where the active groups are. Thanks in advance!

Barcelona is the place to go. Yeah, it is overpriced and a bit overrated, but any place else is just a glorified village basically (Madrid is obviously an exception, but there is no sea there and the weather is awful).

I am a bit on the same page. I enjoyed Valencia when I was there many years ago, but Barcelona was always the place I felt had everything going for it. Valencia still has a lot of things going for it and I have some friends there so that helps. I hear Malaga is making a big push to be competititve on the networking front, one of my friends can't stop gushiing about how much his family loves Pedregalejo, but I think it might be too small for us at this point in our lives

I'd say Madrid has the most city-life experience, but as Alex said the weather is awful and it comes with all the "big city" downsides too. Barcelona's great in terms of weather (except for 2 weeks during August), location is unbeatable (20 mins to the beach, 2 hours to the mountains), and has lots of cultural events. I feel like there's always something to do here. Taxes on Catalunya suck, though.

There are extra taxes to pay there, or the process is brutal, or both?

I know Barsa and Valencia have a wealth tax that I won't have to worry about for a bit, but eventually I might. Could be that I do one of those to start and then move to Malaga. I'll talkk to a tax advisor of course before committing to anything based on my limited knowledge

alexshepilo 3mo

taxes in spain are complex and convoluted regardless of the region. tax itself (national and regional), property tax, wealth tax etc. Nothing a good advisor/accountant can’t deal with though, so I would not worry about those differences (unless of course couple % accounts for hefty sum).

paulevans85 3mo

Yeah I get ya, thanks for the heads up!

I’m planning to move for 1 or 2 months to the Canary Islands, but I’m not sure which island to choose - Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, or Lanzarote. Do you have any suggestions?

Anyone in Spain experience with a company that can support with enterprise admin, finance, bookkeeping, accountancy? Looking for something like the Estonian Enty or Xolo services but than in Spain. Thanks :)

I have a question for Spain Digital Nomad visa.

Is it mandatory to open bank account and receive all income in spain bank account? Even I pay tax in home country?

Also anyone know better agency or consultant who can help with digital nomad visa?

dimuuu 29d

technically you’ll likely become a spanish tax resident and will have to pay tax in spain, which is way easier with spanish bank account

but otherwise it’s not required afaik

beelaitch 27d

i opened an account w n26 which is fine for social security payments and tax etc.

i also have a great guy who sorted mine and now many of my friends’ DNVs.
