What’s it like living in Barcelona as a digital nomad?

Hey everyone! I’m considering moving to Barcelona for a few months (maybe longer) as a digital nomad. I work remotely and want to experience life in Spain while staying productive. I would love to hear from anyone who has lived or is currently living in Barcelona as a remote worker.

A few things I’m curious about:

  • What's the day-to-day life like? Cost of living, community, safety, weather, etc.?

  • Are there good coworking spaces or cafes for remote work?

  • How's the Wi-Fi and overall infrastructure for digital work?

  • What’s the digital nomad visa process like? Is it easy to apply and get approved?

  • Any issues with taxation, banking, or residency rules I should be aware of?

  • How do locals feel about digital nomads or foreigners staying long-term?

If you have lived there or are currently there, I would appreciate any honest insights, good or bad. Just want to know what I'm walking into before I commit. Thanks in advance!
