Working and perceiving being on vacation is possible, at least in Andalucía. That in the south of Spain there are many of the best beaches in Spain and the Mediterranean is not a secret. That the good climate of Andalucía invites you to enjoy them almost all year round, it is also known. If we incorporate the factors 'remote work' and 'vacations' into this equation, we obtain a list of places where combining both activities is highly recommended.
These are some proposals:
Zahara de los Atunes
In this white town on the coast of Cádiz, the beaches and the sunset compete daily in beauty. This small town belonging to the municipality of Barbate cannot boast of luxurious yachts, mass parties or golf courses, but it can pride itself on being a prodigy of nature, having an urban center as simple as it is beautiful and being a refuge for celebrities who seek to relax away from the spotlight.
With little more than 1,000 inhabitants in winter, in summer this Atlantic pearl multiplies its population, its streets and terraces spring with life without becoming overcrowded and the beach bars become gastronomic odes to tuna.
Tourists are hooked on Zahara for its sense of peace. Despite being small, Zahara has an important hotel infrastructure and residential accommodation for rent that each summer are transformed into temporary telework spaces for many visitors who combine work and vacations. It is the closest thing to moving the office to paradise.
Its endless beaches of fine white sand and its turquoise waters are a must-see.
Nerja
Nerja, on the eastern coast of the province of Malaga, is one of the most sought-after destinations in Andalucía by the national and foreign market, something logical due to its abundance of charm. It was recognized as the most charming coastal town in Spain in 2016.
If before it was already internationally known for its steep whitewashed streets, its beaches and its famous stalactite and stalagmite caves, in recent times it is gaining ground as a place to take your laptop to work and join the holidays. El Balcón de Europa, a wide square on a promontory overlooking the sea and the cliffs, is another of the places to visit in Nerja that will not leave you indifferent.
A walk along the coast of Nerja to the San Benito viewpoint and touring the center are two very healthy exercises to disconnect after the telework day and fall in love with this beautiful corner of the eastern Costa del Sol. Nerja has a wide tourist, service and communication infrastructure and even has two coworking facilities.
Almuñécar
Almuñécar is a welcoming town, with surprising beaches, a pleasant atmosphere and a mild climate. Combining leisure time with the working day is an easy task in this town on the Costa Tropical de Granada.
Along its 19 km of coastline, Almuñécar offers beaches for all tastes: urban, gray sand, gravel, naturist and coves between cliffs, ideal for practicing water sports. There are 26 beaches with turquoise or transparent waters to choose from, distributed between the town and the surroundings. The coves around La Herradura stand out.
The hotel and residential rental offer is quite wide. If you have imagined working remotely from a house on a cliff facing the sea, it is possible that this site is in the municipality of Almuñécar. For those who prefer to separate work and home, in Almuñécar there are two coworking spaces from which to work remotely while maintaining that feeling of being on vacation.
Mojácar
Moving your office to a town of white houses and labyrinthine steep streets scattered through the foothills of the Sierra de Cabrera, with 17 kilometers of beaches at the foot, does not seem like a bad idea for the summer. This is Mojácar.
Mojácar is a town on a blue background, with narrow streets and a wide sea. It preserves the bohemian trait that has accompanied it since the 60s, when the then mayor of a decadent Mojácar had the idea of giving away lots to those who built their house respecting traditional architecture (two-story houses, white and without roofs). In this way Mojácar was reborn, filled with artists and people of the world and was declared, years later, one of the most beautiful towns in Spain.
For the rest, walking through its network of steep streets from the 13th century and spending a day on the Sombrerico beach is almost a must if you are in Mojácar, even if it is teleworking. By the way, finding rental accommodation with good Wi-Fi is easy and the town also has a coworking space.
Málaga
Sun, beach and remote work. Malaga is the Andalusian city best positioned for everything that a digital nomad and a vacationer may need. It has a beach, accommodation, sun, cultural and leisure offer, a technological microclimate and abundant digital talent and a good infrastructure to work with the laptop, practically, from anywhere. All this without forgetting that Malaga is the capital of Andalucía with the most coworking spaces (23).
Less than two decades ago, the city set out to be a benchmark for culture, and it has succeeded: the Picasso Museum, the Pompidou Center, the rise of the film festival, etc. In parallel, Malaga transformed its port to turn it into a large open-air commercial and tourist area. Again he hit the mark and revolutionized tourism, which continues to grow to such an extent that the Malaga capital is already being spoken of as the new economic engine of Andalucía and one of the most important in Spain.
As a vacation spot, come and see, there is everything. Enjoy and relax after each telework day is guaranteed.
