Globalization, digital nomad, co-working, virtual offices, work from home, work from anywhere – things have changed in the business world. How do we conduct business post-pandemic escalated from a few remote office spaces around cities to a growing resource of multi-purpose meeting, event, and office spaces combined?
Chances are you stopped here to find a good Co-working space in Barcelona or as others may call it, the virtual office space. You are in the right place. Whether passing through during a congress or tradeshows like Mobile World Congress Barcelona, ISE, or Salon Nautic or looking for a space while you experience Barcelona, we have what you are looking for.
We (as business travel experts) know that there are a lot of people nowadays who are WFH (work from home), working on the go, or have completely shifted to the digital nomad lifestyle. Co-working spaces are new offices for many (especially Millennials and Gen Zs) people.

Day passes are available in most Co-working locations.

La Vaca coworking, Barcelona
No, we are not talking about co-working with cows. This place is very cool—no wonder it gathers a diverse community, from artists to engineers.
This venue is located in the heart of Poble Sec, and believe it or not, it was formerly a dairy shop from the 50′s. This is where people from Barcelona used to buy fresh milk and cheese. Today it is a place where businesses are developed. Here is an interesting overview from nymag.com, written by Jennifer Ceasar, about the creative neighborhood of Poble Sec.
What sets them apart from the previously mentioned spaces is the less-formal-more-playful atmosphere. Their focus is being a community that works hard and plays hard. That’s why they organize weekly events to increase interactions between members, such as “Community Lunch”, weekly Football games, or Afterworks and Networking Events.
They also offer a cozy self-service cafeteria, equipped kitchen, and chillout areas, as well as a pool table, ping pong, and a console on the lower level. To learn more, check out their website.
