The quick take
Year-round spring weather and Spain's nomad visa, off the African coast. Budget around $1900 a month as a solo nomad. Growing and spread across the island; a car helps.

- ~$1900
- Wifi & connectivity
- Fibre is good in the main towns; 4G covers the island.
- Coworking
- Coworking in the Sun and Nine Coworking are established island spaces.
- Visa
- Spain's Digital Nomad Visa (since 2023) allows stays up to five years for eligible remote workers; the Canaries are part of Spain and the EU. Verify current terms.
