With the growing trend of remote working, you can turn part of these cold months into a sunny work adventure. Because even during these months you can reap the benefits of remote working, such as setting your own work schedule, adapting your work environment and boosting your creativity and motivation. In this blog, we share five suitable destinations in Europe where you can enjoy the sun while working remotely.     <\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Remote working in Barcelona, Spain  <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The capital of Catalonia is a great place for a winter workation. The mild Mediterranean climate provides pleasant temperatures even in the winter months.   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are plenty of hip co-working spaces, such as Betahaus or OneCoWork. <a href=\"http:\/\/workingremotely.nl\/5-leuke-werkplekken-in-bruisend-barcelona\/\">Check out 5 other great places to work here<\/a>.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  After a day of work, fold up your laptop and explore the city, go to the beach and\/or enjoy Spanish cuisine. I slept in a fairly luxurious hostel that also had its own workspace and a nice rooftop terrace to sit in the sun, this was <a href=\"https:\/\/booking.tp.st\/ma2oxm7H\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unite Hostel Barcelona<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2956 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/workingremotely.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/foto-blog-5-bestemmingen-barcelona.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/workingremotely.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/foto-blog-5-bestemmingen-barcelona.jpg 500w, https:\/\/workingremotely.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/foto-blog-5-bestemmingen-barcelona-300x233.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. On workation in Lisbon, Portugal<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-known place for a fun city break, but also a fine place to work: Lisbon. Portugal&#8217;s capital city has a lot to offer. It is not called the &#8220;Digital Nomad Capital of Europe&#8221; for nothing. Besides a beautiful coastline, of course, you can enjoy old neighborhoods like Alfama and Bairro Alto after work. A nice and affordable place to stay is <a href=\"https:\/\/booking.tpx.lv\/knN5rXSP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WOT Lisbon Nomad<\/a>. They have several locations, but this one has a pool and nice work spaces, which is very important to me.     <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nice places to work are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selina Secret Garden<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outsite Principe Real<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outsite Cais do Sodre<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Really want to go to co-working space? Outsite work caf\u00e9 or Second home Lisbon are recommended. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Remote working in Dubrovnik, Croatia<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A winter workation on the Adriatic? How does that sound? This historic city not only has a rich history, but also offers plenty of opportunities to work remotely from here. In summer this city is very popular among Game of Thrones fans, in winter it is a lot quieter. This destination is especially suitable from an Airbnb of your own, as there are still few co-working\/living spots. <a href=\"http:\/\/workingremotely.nl\/mijn-eerste-workation-die-was-in-kroatie\/\">Read more about my first workation in Croatia here<\/a>.    <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Tenerife for a workation, Canary Islands<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are really looking for a nice place to spend the winter, the Canary Islands are a top choice. Tenerife, the largest island, offers pleasant temperatures year-round.   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, the remote working community is growing and there are many places where you can work. Choose a coliving, good hotel, a comfortable apartment or of course a nice Airbnb. My recommendation here is <a href=\"https:\/\/booking.tpx.lv\/QTFrZFCR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sholeo Lodges Los Gigantes<\/a>, whether you go on workation alone or with a group remote working. In your free time, explore the volcano Teide, go to the beach and discover even more beauty on this island. Want to know more about Tenerife as a suitable work destination?

Workation in Athens, Greece<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Athens, the cradle of Western civilization, is a great place to work and enjoy the sun. I was there in July and it was very hot, actually you are better off visiting Athens in the spring or fall. Visit the ancient monuments, like the Acropolis, in your free time and enjoy the Greek hospitality. The food here is also insane, quite affordable and pretty much everywhere to lick your fingers at. Co-working spaces like The Cube Athens offer modern facilities for remote workers.      <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/workingremotely.nl\/5-leuke-werkplekken-in-athene\/\">Check out 5 great places to work in Athens<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Looking for the perfect workation accommodation?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you&#8217;re looking for a sunny escape in winter or just want to reap the benefits of remote work, there are plenty of places in Europe where you can soak up the sun.
