Overview
Spain offers Americans a chance to embrace the famous European work-life balance while enjoying world-class cuisine, culture, and climate. From the cosmopolitan energy of Madrid and Barcelona to the relaxed beach towns of the Costa del Sol, Spain has something for everyone.
The Digital Nomad Visa, introduced in 2023, has made Spain significantly more accessible for remote workers. It requires proof of remote employment or freelance income (minimum €2,520/month) and allows you to live and work legally in Spain.
Valencia has emerged as a top destination, consistently ranking #1 in global quality of life surveys. It offers the perfect balance of beach lifestyle, urban amenities, and affordability.
Spanish healthcare is among the best in the world, with both excellent public and private options. Monthly private insurance typically costs €50-150 for comprehensive coverage.
The Spanish lifestyle emphasizes social connections, long meals with family and friends, and a more relaxed pace of life. While learning Spanish is highly recommended for full integration, you can get by with English in major cities and tourist areas.
