Agaete, located in the north of Gran Canaria, offers a serene and captivating setting for teleworkers, surrounded by breathtaking mountains and quaint white houses along the shoreline.
Recently, it’s become a magnet for entrepreneurs worldwide. Just this past July, Agaete hosted the Nomad City Festival, drawing hundreds of digital nomads eager to share their experiences.
