The Covid-19 pandemic has certainly changed our existences, radically disrupting our outlook on life and our priorities.
Many economic sectors have experienced losses from which it will be difficult to recover for at least another couple of years. However, there is a sector that has had a strong growth impulse. I’m talking about the digital sector.
From online lessons to Affiliate marketing , passing through videomaking : there are dozens and dozens of professions that were born or spread further during the quarantine. Actually, they all come under the category of Digital Nomad .
Having spent whole weeks locked in a room in a city has prompted so many people to reevaluate their accommodations and seek housing in places where (in the event of another pandemic) quarantine is more tolerable.
For this reason, the Canary Islands have become a new favorite destination for those who, working online, can afford to live around the world. Good year-round climate, no need to leave Europe, Canaries boast of good living and fiscal conditions.
But what does a digital nomad face when deciding to move to the Canary Islands? What are the first steps to take? Where is it best to stay? Let’s find out together in this article!
As you can read deeeply later on in this article , if you come from one of the countries of the European Union , to move to the Canary Islands you will need your passport or national identification document. Furthermore, being in possession of the European Health Card , you will be entitled to emergency hospital assistance (if you intend to settle on the island for more than three months, I would recommend that you take out private medical insurance).
If, on the other hand, your citizenship is British you can stay in Spain only for a maximum of three months, without the need for a visa, just with your passport.
The N.I.E., Numero de Identidad de Extranjero, is the foreigners identification number by which anyone meeting certain requirements can work in Spain. Actually, you will need it not only for work purposes, but also to be able to carry out numerous other economic and non-economic transactions, such as opening a bank accountt, renting a house, studying in Spain, etc.
Supposedly, it is mandatory to apply for the N.I.E. if you settle in Spain for more than three months, but you may not necessarily be granted it if you do not have a valid reason, such as a job, buying a car or a house, or want to open a VAT number. So don’t panic, if your only intention is to stay for a short time, you won’t need it.
Below I report the most popular and central Coworking spaces of the capitals of the main islands (although I would recommend you to opt between Gran Canaria or Tenerife, which are the largest and most populated).
As for the cost of rents in the main cities of the islands, in my opinion they’re not too high.
Monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment near the sea or in more central areas (e.g., in the Las Canteras and Vegueta neighborhoods as far as Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is concerned, and Los LLanos, La Salle and Plaza Weyler in Santa Cruz de Tenerife) ranges from 550€ to 700€. Moving away from the sea and going inland, the average drops to 450€ per month.
On the other hand, if you want to opt for a room in a shared apartment, prices range from € 250 to € 350 per month. Below I leave you the links to the most common and used housing search sites in the Canary Islands.
Usually bills are not included and range between 75 and 100 € bimonthly, for electricity and water bills (heaters are practically not present in any house), in a studio apartment, for one / two people
As already mentioned, in the islands of the Canary archipelago there is no railway system. So to move you can use:
Associated with the idea of tropical islands, exotic places and remote locations in Africa, coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the
As all Italians do, I’m a coffee lover too! I love the smell of it in the morning and it is what gives me
Tropical climate, sunny beaches all year round, good food… if you are thinking of moving to one of the islands of the Canary archipelago,
🇪🇸Viajar solo significa independencia, iniciativa y crecimiento.
Mucha gente intentará transmitirte su miedos o convencerte de que es aburrido.
Pero no te dejes llevar por los prejuicios. Sal de tu zona de confort, descubre nuevos lugares, conoce nuevas culturas y personas que dejarán una huella en tu camino
Es la mejor manera de conocer al mundo y a tí mism@ 🫶🏼

🇬🇧Travelling solo means independence, initiative, and growth.
Many people will try to pass you their fears to you or convince you that it is boring. But do not get carried away by prejudices. Get out of your comfort zone, discover new places, and meet new cultures and people who will leave a mark on your path.
It is the best way to know the world and yourself.

🇮🇨 Feliz día de Canarias a todos los Canarios 🇮🇨
Tierra y pueblo maravilloso, que te acogen y te incluyen.
Donde la condición de isla desarolla fuerte el sentido de pertenencia junto al orgullo y privilegio para los que han nacido aquí 🫶🏼
Gente que nunca pierde la sonrisa, que sabe disfrutar de la naturaleza y de lo bonito que puede ofrecer.
Gracias Canarias por todo lo que has aportado a mi vida (amistades, fuerza, crecimiento, desconexión y reconexión) y espero seguir creciendo contigo 💙💚
