Coworking Nomad — A Community for Locals & Digital Nomads in Tenerife
In this episode of Around the World in 250 Coworking Spaces, Pauline visits Coworking Nomad in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the vibrant capital of Spain’s Canary Islands. Managed by Arti, the space has been a central meeting point for freelancers, entrepreneurs, and remote workers since its founding in 2011.
Key highlights
- Island location — Based in the city center, with shops, restaurants, and the beach just a short drive away.
- Who works here — A 50/50 mix of locals and international members, from teachers and software engineers to creative freelancers.
- Sustainability efforts — Practices like recycling bins, paper reuse, and switching to eco-friendly products are part of the space’s ethos.
- Community spirit — Regular breakfasts, social activities, and collaboration between members help connections flourish.
- Nomad appeal — Many visitors stay for a week or two, some for months, with several deciding to settle in Tenerife after falling in love with the island lifestyle.
Coworking Nomad shows how a coworking space can blend local community with the global nomad movement—offering not just a place to work, but a place to belong.
