Calling all Digital Nomads and Remote Workers

This is a subtitle for your new post

If you're fortunate enough to spend the Christmas and New Year's holiday in sunny Marbella, then you'll have to choose where to eat, drink and be merry. And we will save you time and energy having done the hard work researching ourselves. So, roll of drums... 

If you're active on social media you're bound to have heard about it, but what exactly is Revenge Travel? And revenge from who and what exactly? It was one of the biggest anticipated travel trends when last June planes started to fly again around Europe and travelers went off to their favorite places. If in a normal year, one would take a family holiday and 2 breaks, after nearly 2 years of pandemic, with the disruption of having to repeatdily cancel holidays, the majority of us feel we missed out on a lot and that we are owed big time by life itslef. So this year we want to make up for lost time and book if not double as much as a normal year holiday, at least 30% more. We've seen some of our guest twice already, once with family or loved one and then with friends, and that in not even 6 months.

How can you be more sustainable when traveling by supporting small local busines, book direct and help destinations thrive.

Marbella has over 300 sunny days a year which leaves us with 60 days of rain, when we have to find alternatives to enjoying life outside. The first options would of course be shopping at La Cañada or Corte Ingles, but because we're all about local businesses rather than big enterprises, we'll offer you some more sustainable alternatives.

How many reasons do you need to buy a property in Marbella? You can live in it, rent it and use it as an investment or both

Up until 2019 the Digital Nomads were perceived as some lazy freaks, who pretended to be working from paradisiac beaches while showing up on Instragram lying on an hammock with an Apple Mac while sipping water straight from a coconut. And the Digital Families, as some crazy heartless parents who were putting their kids in danger by taking them to remote destinations with no drinking water or proper health care and depriving them of the "normal school education", stability and routines. People in general were failing to understand how one could have a decent job and do proper work from somewhere rather than a fancy corporate office or teach their kids as well as, if not better than, the schools. As someone who has been a digital nomad before the term was even invented, and spent the mayority of the working life sitting in a cafe on an inflatable ball, and understood the importance of "kids copy what you do not what you tell them to do" I can tell you none of the above is true and that to be a Digital Nomad (single, couple or family) you do not need to go to Bali, Fiji, South America or Byron Bay, the Spanish coast in perfect, easy and affordable. So in March 2020 our world was put upside down, the freedom we took for granted disappeared overnight, we had to adapt quickly in a sea of uncertainties, work and learn from home became the new normal and surprise suprise, the people that had previously worked remotely from home and other places, were used to flexible hours and thinking outside the box, embraced the new normal with less stress and anxiety, transmitting peace and calm to their kids. The corporate lot embraced the work and teach from home less keenly, but soon found that it was a perfectly acceptable way of life and since then many corporation have introduced the "work from home as long as you like" formula. And when the borders reopened in June many of them tought: If Work From Home can be Work From Any Home, then we might as well go somewhere with better weather, where we can enjoy outdoor activities and take care of our mental health. All this became even more relevant as summer ended and the rainy autumn made his appearence in the Northern countries, the grey skys not improving the mood, the school and offices that weren't going to reopen, our new normal being Zoom, Meet and Teams, so we started to see different types of families coming to us to spend a couple of months, get some winter sun and vitamin sea with the only requirements of reliable fast WiFi and well stocked kitchen to cook healthy meals for the kids.
