"Life for expats and digital nomads in Santander is generally relaxed and enjoyable. The city offers a high quality of life with its beautiful beaches, vibrant culture, and delicious cuisine. The cost of living is relatively affordable compared to other European cities, making it an attractive destination for those who work remotely. The city is well-connected with reliable internet and co-working spaces, making it easy for digital nomads to work. The locals are friendly and welcoming, although not everyone speaks English, so learning some Spanish can be beneficial. Santander is also known for its mild climate, with warm summers and cool winters, making it a comfortable place to live year-round. The city is also safe, with low crime rates, adding to its appeal for expats. There are plenty of leisure activities to enjoy in Santander, from exploring the city's historic sites to enjoying outdoor activities like surfing and hiking. The city also has a lively nightlife scene with many bars and restaurants. However, it's worth noting that the pace of life in Santander is slower than in larger cities, which can take some adjustment for those used to a faster pace. Overall, Santander offers a balanced lifestyle for expats and digital nomads, combining work, leisure, and a rich cultural experience," commented one expat who made the move to Santander, Spain.
