1MN #127 — Spain just raised the bar. Are you still in?
Spain's visa got pricier, Europe's hidden nomad gems are getting out, and two cities you should be watching right now.
📰 WHAT’S HAPPENING
▸ Spain’s Digital Nomad Visa income floor just went up After Spain’s 2026 minimum wage hike, solo applicants now need to prove at least €2,849/month in foreign income — up from before. It’s still one of the best structured nomad visas in the world (ranked #1 globally this year), but the barrier to entry just got a little higher.
▸ Europe’s next nomad hotspots aren’t Lisbon or Barcelona anymore The 2026 remote work boom is pushing nomads into Europe’s “second cities” — places with the lifestyle, the connectivity, and none of the crowds. If you’ve been priced out of the obvious options, this is your moment.

🌍 CITY SPOTLIGHT
▸ Valencia, Spain 🇪🇸
Everything Barcelona offers — sun, food, culture, great coworking — at 35–40% lower cost. Spring is peak season with the city coming alive after Las Fallas, and the new tram expansion makes getting around almost too easy.

▸ Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
South America’s undisputed nomad capital for 2026. A recent 5G rollout in BA and Bariloche has made the connectivity argument even stronger, and the peso exchange rate still works in your favour. Palermo and San Telmo have coworking spots on every block, and the food scene is genuinely world-class.
