Getting Connected
In addition to forming communities in your coworking and coliving spaces, numerous online nomad groups exist on platforms like Facebook, Meetup, and WhatsApp. You can even connect with people before your arrival in Barcelona to begin networking and potentially finding an apartment.
A notable nomad meetup has taken place every Wednesday since 2020, and there is an accompanying Facebook and WhatsApp group. A simple Facebook search for groups using keywords like “Barcelona + digital nomad” will lead you to some valuable options, as well as expat groups like this one and women-specific groups such as Girls Gone International Barcelona. A fantastic way to bond with fellow nomads and explore the city is through organized tours. Check out our thoughtfully curated small group tours that showcase the best of Barcelona.
