About Las Palmas De Gran Canaria

✓ Pros:

  • Affordable cost of living compared to mainland Spain and other Western European countries, making it budget-friendly for long-term stays.
  • High-quality internet connectivity, with many cafes and co-working spaces offering reliable Wi-Fi, essential for remote work.
  • A vibrant digital nomad community with various meetups and networking events, providing opportunities for collaboration and socializing.
  • Pleasant weather year-round, with mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine, creating an inviting environment for outdoor activities.
  • Relatively easy visa requirements for EU citizens, and digital nomad visas are becoming more accessible for non-EU residents.

✗ Cons:

  • Limited public transport options can make it difficult to explore the island without a car, potentially increasing travel costs.
  • Some areas can be quite touristy, which may lead to higher prices in popular spots and less authentic local experiences.
  • While the island is generally safe, petty crime can occur, particularly in crowded tourist areas, so vigilance is necessary.
  • Healthcare access can be a concern in more remote areas; while there are decent facilities, they may not be as comprehensive as those on the mainland.
  • The island's geographical isolation can lead to higher shipping costs for goods and limited options for certain products and services.
