Anyone know of a cyber cafe or business center in Funchal where I can print a couple of pages for shipping packages?
Hello,
did you find a good copy shop / business center in Funchal? I need to scan and print. Thanks!
Has anyone here spent some time in Funchal and can recommend things to do? Some more local places to eat, drink or hang out? Some (alternative) cultural happenings, live music etc.? Thanks for any infos!
Also, if anyone is here and wants to meet up, drop me a line…
I lived in Funchal for 9 months, did part of my Master’s there.
• I loved the Pico do Areeiro - Pico Ruivo hike.
• The laurissilva forest is dreamy.
• The Madeira Film Festival is beautiful and affordable.
• Punta de São Lorenço is gorgeous, check out the sunset there.
• Ponta do Sol. A charming town.
• Don’t miss the Carnaval in February and the Festa da Flor in May!
• Barreirinha Bar Cafe is a nice spot for mojitos in Funchal…
• but my favorite spot on the island (also with good cocktails) is Maktub in Paul do Mar.
Hello, everyone!
My idea is to stay as low as 6 months and as long as a year (maybe, who knows) over Lisbon after doing some analysis from many cities in Europe.
I'm an Argentinian and Chilean (both nationalities) so... no Euro-pass for me (getting my Italian nationality could take 2 years easily). I'm also a remote worker and I have a really good income (I work for a Silicon Valley company) so I can show more than enough resources to stay in the country.
Everything I see online doesn't inspire me much confidence (most sites looks a bit scammy) and this is not a "vacation stay"... I want to be clear my head far away from Argentina right now. If someone has a good website, recommendations, etc I will super appreciate.
Thanks in advance!
Not sure really. There's "Nomad Capitalist" but I've heard mixed reviews.
If you intend on staying in Portugal, my recommendation would be to research about their Golden Visa as well as their Non Habitual Residency program. It's well-known within the nomad community.
Checkout the "digitalnomad" subreddit as well.
Good luck!
Hi there, title says it all. Canadian nomad hoping to find the city/town in Portugal with great, consistent surfing, a solid coworking spot, and a fun group of young nomads. Please recommend!
Here you go: nomadlist.com/places-with-many-nomads-near-a-beach-in-portugal
Lisbon and Porto match! There might be a few smaller ones not listed on NL, but they also won't have many nomads
Thanks! Definitely used your search tool before, it's great. Well done on the site as a whole, really unique tools you've built. Surprised to hear that smaller places like Ericeira and Alentejo won't have much of a nomad community.
Ericeira has a lot of permanent residents who work remotely and a few nomads passing through. Summer is more touristy and winter is quieter but with more serious waves. Was there last autumn for 6 weeks and had a great time. Think it'll only grow and grow - loads of coworking and coliving opening up
Added Ericeira now to Nomad List, will take a few days for the robots to collect all the data and you'll see it show up :) nomadlist.com/ericeira
Rad! Would you recommend any particular neighborhoods / cafes? Also considering surf school... 🌊
it's only a small place so there's not loads of neighbourhoods - you're kind of in the centre or not! best food was in very local style restaurants I thought - follow the Portuguese old boys! Adega pub is where everyone seems to go in the evening
I stayed at villadosirmaos.com (they are chilled, great people) which is in Ribamar, 5-10 minutes up the coast from Ericeira. Their friend David has opened a more formal co-living place here - www.sunagohouse.com. You can borrow surf gear at Vila dos Irmaos and David was a surf instructor. I don't know much about other options but there are plenty in town.
One of the big surf shops in a massive modern building has a cafe which is good to work from. You can also work in more local cafes sometimes which are quieter than ones in town. I'd usually surf at Ribeira and there's a big cafe/bar there which also accepts workers
Shout me if you go!
For sure, & thanks so much for the fantastic recs - I didn't realize there was so much co-living happening there. Will check it all out! 😸
Thanks dude! They might have though but not enough for it to be properly tracked on here (e.g. not members checked in there as much). If there's a significant nomad community it'll start showing up here
Hi everyone,
I am going to move to Lisbon in July and I was wondering where you guys work from? Do you have any recommendations for working on a budget? Any good cafès or cheap coworking spaces?
I did some research and found some coworking spaces for > ~ 100€ p. month which is pretty reasonable but too much for me right now.
Thanks!
I used "getcroissant" whilst I was in Lisbon. You basically choose a number of coworking hours per month and are then free to choose any of the partnering co-working spaces. I recommend Heden, Selina and Outsite.
There are also plenty of wonderful cafes to work from. Several Copenhagen Coffee Labs, Heim, The Mill...
Hey everyone,
I’m a freelance + nomad newbie, off for my 1st proper trip in May. I’m wanting to spend a month somewhere and go from there.
I just came back from Slovenia/Ljubljana and loved it there (just a week). I don’t mind “sleepier” places par-say, as long as they’re close to a beach or nature of some kind. In fact, I kinda like places less-busy and a bit smaller/cosier.
I’m been swaying towards Porto, but have been impressed by the rave reviews I’ve seen for Valencia.
-> Have you every nomad-ed in a Spanish/Portuguese city? I’d love to know where and what you liked/disliked 
Thanks!
My wife and I spent 3 months in southern Spain and Portugal, Carnival in Cadiz is THE BEST. its also relatively close to the Algarve, which is beautiful. Base out of Sevilla or Cadiz, you will love it
Thanks @edu_sunandco - I’ve emailed you at [email protected] and [email protected] addresses.
PS. For anyone who is curious, the list I have compiled is as follows:
Sende; Galicia, northwest Spain (close to Vigo & Portugal border)
Sun&Co; Javea, eastern Spain, coast (near Valencia)
NineColiving; Tenerife
Coworking-in-the-sun; Tenerife
Restation; Gran Canaria
Hi @jasraj, you can send us an email to [email protected]
Regarding your question above, I love Maruchi and Edo from Sende. They are super cool and the community they built in this rural town of Galicia is amazing.
I also know, Maria, the founder of Restation and she is doing a great job there. They have three apartments and then a coworking space. It’s not all under one roof but they do a lot of event in order to build the community.
I heard also good things from NineColiving, but since it’s pretty new I don’t know much.
It’s a long time since I haven’t heard from Coworking in the Sun.
Hey @edu_sunandco!
Thanks a lot for your message. I’ve been reading a couple of your other posts on the forum, actually, Sun&Co got my attention!
And it’s funny you suggest that… I’ve been looking at CoLiving spaces in Spain/Portugal/Canary Islands… Sun&Co is on the list!
I’d love to chat. I’ll send you an email. Jas
Hi @jasraj,
My name is Edu, I’m originally from Valencia and I love my city, it’s a very cool city to live in. It’s a mix of a big city with so many events going on and a small town by the sea.
If you’re starting your Digital Nomad adventure, I would recommend you to try a coliving space first. There you will be able to find many other people that have been doing that for a long time and you’ll be able to learn from there.
I’m the co-founder of Sun and Co coliving space, (you can search that on google), in a town called Jávea, about 2 hours from Valencia. You can check many other coliving spaces if you want to travel to other destinations of course
Good luck in this new adventure and I hope to see you soon in Valencia or Jávea!
Hi everyone!
Currently looking at ridding myself of the 9-5 and becoming a freelance consultant. I’m not planning to go full erm, “tax optimisation”, as I believe in taxes as a concept, but I would like to pay less of them so I can get my business off the ground with more peace of mind.
I’ve decided I want to apply for the Portugal NHR (I’m a EU citizen), but I don’t want to incorporate there. Anyone here has experience with being a Portugal tax resident and running a company elsewhere? If yes, where and why did you choose that country/place? Is it a a lot of hassle?
Thanks!
