- I've been to tenerife multiple times and worked there for 3 months. In Santa Cruz. That wasn't good, they are not prepared for digital nomads. Also I was totally alone. - From what I gathered Gran Canaria is much better suited - I'm in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria now. It's a bit cold at 19-20°C, but sunny. People are friendly and some speak english. There is a mix of totally different people. Even a digital nomad Community: https://live-it-up-las-palmas.mn.co https://live-it-up-las-palmas.mn.co - The south is too touristy for me - Las Palmas is a big city, with spanish culture and not only tourists, and 2 beaches in the city. That is difficult to top in Europe.

- Why isn't Santa Cruz prepared for digital nomads? - How's the beach in Las Palmas?

  - Santa Cruz is mainly for locals and day-tourists, not in between. People are really friendly, but in the end, they don't invest in you, because you are not born there. Also not really english speaking. All roads are steep because it's built into a mountain. - The beach in Las Palmas is nice. There is a promenade next to it, it is protected by a reef, has white sand, has some wildlife You could start in tenerife if you wanted to experience both. I like the nature there more, it's less crowded, greener, and more variety. The ferry is not too expensive, 50€?

    Got it. Where do you usually work there? (e.g. co-working spaces, cafes)

      There are a lot of cafes here and the people are chill in general. I like working in Cafes. Juicy Avenue here is my preferred place. Good view, slightly expensive food, and you can always order a tiny bit. I booked work-labs as a coworking space. It's the only one with windows. I slacked off too much and now I need to get something done. Here is an outdated list of coworking spaces: https://lavidacanaria.de/digitales-leben/coworking-spaces-in-las-palmas/ https://lavidacanaria.de/digitales-leben/coworking-spaces-in...
