We\u2019re not only talking about young techies and digital nomads who move around, but remote workers in any industry, of any age and at any level, keen to settle in a new environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In my experience, this is in sharp contrast to Geneva, Switzerland. I lived there for 5 years and eventually started my own company for lack of other opportunities. \u2013 Particularly for foreigners, even though I speak French and German.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Barcelona offers opportunities, a fantastic lifestyle and is very welcoming to foreigners \u2013 unlike Paris, for example, in my experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Becoming one of the world\u2019s top cities for remote working or \u2018teletrabajo\u2019 \u2013 is one of the big future opportunities for Barcelona post COVID.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The percentage of workers permanently working from home worldwide is expected to double in 2021,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-health-coronavirus-technology\/permanently-remote-workers-seen-doubling-in-2021-due-to-pandemic-productivity-survey-idUSKBN2772P0\"><span class=\"s2\">according to a survey from Enterprise Technology Research<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(ETR) quoted in Forbes Magazine.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Barcelona is ideally placed to capitalize on these shifting work patterns to attract international talent, as well as overseas companies looking to employ a more affordable workforce.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"thb-image-6acb90f33f943\" class=\"caption-style1  alignleft   thb_image_link wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"thb-image-inner size_100\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"thb_image   attachment-full thb-lazyload lazyload\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685-20x11.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685-185x104.jpg 185w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685-740x416.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/diverse-friends-using-digital-devices-e1625050746685-85x48.jpg 85w\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  \" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Why Barcelona is one of the coolest remote working hubs<\/h3>\n<h3>1. Already geared for digital workers and digital nomads<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p3\">Barcelona has long been popular with digital nomads &#8211; people who make money online and like to roam the world \u2013 because of its vibrant start-up ecosystem and tech culture.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">However, post-COVID \u2013 Barcelona also has the potential to attract remote workers in other industries, including senior talent from around the world. Unlike digital nomads, these workers don\u2019t move around as much but are keen to settle and integrate, whilst working for a company in the US or UK, or elsewhere. They also include entrepreneurs, attracted by accelerators and a culture of innovation.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Great WiFi, connectivity and inner-city transport links<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p3\">Barcelona has great connectivity with other world cities \u2013 during normal times \u2013 so hopping on a flight for a meeting in Europe, or even the US, is no problem\u00a0 \u2013 should you tire of Zoom<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">At around 24 mbps the WIFI is great and you\u2019re likely to have a stable connection whether you\u2019re on the beach, on a train, or working from a street caf\u00e9<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The city\u2019s metro and bus system runs smoothly, at least in the inner city, and taxis are relatively cheap and easy to come by. A taxi to the airport from central Barcelona costs around 30 Euros and you can get to most places in the city for around 10 Euros or less.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"thb-image-6acb90f340545\" class=\"caption-style1  alignleft   thb_image_link wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"thb-image-inner size_100\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"750\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"thb_image   attachment-full thb-lazyload lazyload\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195-370x231.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195-800x500.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195-185x116.jpg 185w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195-740x463.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wallpaperflare.com_wallpaper-e1625050796195-77x48.jpg 77w\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  \" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3>3. Work-life balance <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">Since I\u2019ve moved to Barcelona \u2013 even during the lockdown in 2021 \u2013 I feel as if I\u2019m on permanent holiday. I mostly work from home and join the team at a co-working space rented by my US company twice a week.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I love the flexibility which means I get to play padel or tennis before work some mornings, walk the dogs in the mountain and get to end many beautiful sunny days with a walk on the beach or drinks in a caf\u00e9. To me, this is as near to the perfect work-life balance as I can imagine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Moreover, the weather is glorious all year round \u2013 though very hot in August, when everyone flees the city to spend time on the beach along the Costa Brava.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\">4. Remote work opportunities for English speakers<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">It has to be said, though, that salaries in Barcelona are woefully low compared to other world cities \u2013 so you ideally want your paycheck to be in dollars or pounds. Your money will go a lot further every month as the cost of living in Barcelona is comparatively lower than London or Paris for example, except for accommodation, which is on a par with other world cities. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Also, I found a part-time position for a US company via LinkedIn within months of arriving in the city. Barcelona Global offered me contract work, which culminated in my current role as Director of the International Talent Monitor and<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>I have also been approached for other roles.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\">5. Open expat community with a strong co-working culture<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">Barcelona is teeming with co-working spaces \u2013 such as the 22@ area in Poblenou \u2013 for techies and start-ups. It\u2019s right on the beach and known as Barcelona\u2019s Silicon Valley.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">To illustrate, my company\u2019s co-working space is in Gracia, one of Barcelona\u2019s trendiest neighborhoods from where we can easily pop into a quirky restaurant for lunch or a bar for an ap\u00e9ro after work and you can walk to anywhere in the city. The team are all internationals, many of whom have lived in Spain for a few years.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"thb-image-6acb90f34135d\" class=\"caption-style1  alignleft   thb_image_link wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"thb-image-inner size_100\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"thb_image   attachment-full thb-lazyload lazyload\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo.jpeg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo-18x10.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo-370x208.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo-800x450.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo-20x11.jpeg 20w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo-185x104.jpeg 185w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo-740x416.jpeg 740w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo-400x225.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/teletrabajo-85x48.jpeg 85w\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  \" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3>6. Friendly locals<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">Again, this has been my own experience and not everyone may agree \u2013 but I have found locals much more open and welcoming of foreigners than any of the other big cities where I\u2019ve lived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Also, read our posts about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/living-in-barcelona\/networking-in-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>networking opportunities<\/b><\/a> and how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/en\/living-in-barcelona\/networking-in-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>make friends in Barcelona<\/b>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\">7. Culture and Sport<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">Barcelona\u2019s rich cultural scene includes trendy music festivals, opera performances and many traditional cultural festivals such as the colorful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcelonaglobal.org\/blog\/living-in-barcelona\/5-things-you-need-to-know-about-sant-jordi-in-barcelona-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>St Jordi Festival<\/b><\/a> where booklovers and romantics exchange roses and books!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Post-Covid \u2013 there will hopefully be opportunities again to watch big-name players during local basketball or football games.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you\u2019re into sports and fitness, you\u2019ll love the sporty outdoor culture \u2013 and chances to be active from playing volleyball or exercising on the beach to top-quality sports clubs and hiking or cycling in the mountains.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">No city is perfect, of course \u2013 and apart from low salaries there are other drawbacks such as major administration hassles when you first arrive and you absolutely need a willingness to learn some Spanish, maybe even a few words in Catalan, if you want to integrate, but this could also be seen as a plus depending on your point of view.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  \" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">For me the city has offered a richness of life unparallel to any of the other cities where I lived.
