I thought I’d add my story here since reading others helped me a lot. I work as a data analyst for an international company, fully remote for the last few years. My job only really requires a laptop, stable internet, and some overlap with my team’s time zone, so location has been flexible.
After living in a few different countries, I started looking for a place where I could settle down without giving up the lifestyle I enjoy. Barcelona stood out for obvious reasons, but also because it felt practical, not just attractive. Good infrastructure, lots of people working remotely, and a city that doesn’t shut down outside of tourist season.
At first I rented, assuming buying would be too complicated as a foreigner. Eventually curiosity turned into research, and that’s how I found https://barcelona.realestate/. What I liked was that it was very focused on Barcelona and gave clear context about neighborhoods, which helped me understand where I’d actually want to live day to day. I found an apartment that fit both my budget and my work-from-home needs.
