Since moving to this area, we have been thrilled with the variety of activities locally. When you have work to do – visit us at DeskSpace Coworking Mojacar. DeskSpace is not just for longer term digital nomads – but it’s a way to extend your short break. Perhaps you can take advantage of better flights (better times, better departure airport, better costs) and combine with a couple of days of “working from home”. Additionally, for those interested in combining work and leisure, DeskSpace Mojácar provides a conducive environment (shared office / coworking) for digital nomads, allowing you to enjoy the town’s offerings while staying productive. Take a look at our coworking guide.
