A new survey from Kayak has ranked Spain as the second best country in the world (after Portugal) for remote workers. And it seems that everyone from home builders to the Spanish government is keen to welcome home-based workers to Spain with open arms.

“Spain has so much to offer remote workers, from its weather and lifestyle to its bustling cities and beautiful beaches. The quality of life on offer here is superb and a growing community of remote workers is now able to take advantage of that.” -Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey España

The 2022 Numbeo cost of living survey certainly makes the case for a new life in Spain. While the UK has become more expensive over the past year, rising from being the 28th most expensive country in the world to the 27th, the Spanish lifestyle has become more affordable, with Spain moving from being the 39th most expensive country at the start of 2021 to the 46th most expensive now. For British workers who aren’t tied to an office, this means more of their salary left over as a result of Spain’s better value lifestyle.

Nor is the affordability of Spanish property its only attraction. As leading Spanish home builder Taylor Wimpey España points out, what better environment to work in than a spacious home in a peaceful setting with views stretching out across the stunning landscape?

The new frontline apartments at Panorama Mar, looking out over the beach and sea at Punta Prima, ten minutes down the road from Torrevieja are a case in point. Priced from €365,000 plus VAT, the two- and three-bedroom homes have been designed for comfort and convenience, with the modern family lifestyle – including remote working – firmly in mind. The apartments provide spacious terraces from which to enjoy the spectacular views out over the Mediterranean, as well as three communal pools and direct access to the promenade. With air conditioning, solar thermal panels, double glazed windows and WiFi, the homes provide everything that remote workers could wish for.
