Others have said it’s cheaper to hop from hotel to hotel around the world than to rent in their city. But, the end result is pretty similar – you get to work from wherever you are in the sunshine, by the beach or at the edge of a desert (Wi-Fi permitting).

Brits could work remotely from a beautiful Spanish beach and pay just 15% income tax from next year under a newly passed law. The Spanish government has announced a new Digital Nomad Visa which is designed to tempt talented people from outside the European Union into the country's workforce. The visa is part of the Start-Up law, which was passed by the Spanish parliament last Thursday. To qualify you have to be making less than €600,000 (£522,000) a year and apply for a new one-year visa every 12 months. Typically, non-residents must pay a personal income tax of 24%, while those under the new visa will pay just 15% for five years. As the country is using the scheme to bring cash into Spain, there is also a minimum wage requirement which is expected to be between €2,100 and €3,000 per month. Visa holders can bring their loved ones along ( Image: Getty Images) An added bonus for Brits who sign up to the scheme is the extra travel rights it affords you. Those … [Read more...] about Spain’s new ‘digital nomad’ scheme will let Brits travel around the EU visa-free

In addition to everything else that has gone wrong at or surrounding the World Cup in Qatar, including a migrant worker dying while performing repairs at a resort FIFA was using as a training base for Saudi Arabia during the group stage of the competition, the country has received fewer visitors than it was hoping for during the first two weeks of the tournament. According to an organizers’ report obtained by Reuters , Qatar was expecting an influx of about 1.2 million visitors during the month-long World Cup but has welcomed just over 765,000 visitors during the first two weeks of the tournament. With only eight teams left and just eight games remaining, it is very unlikely Qatar will be flooded with enough tourists to reach its goal. It may hit its mark for fan spending though, as that is way up . Special flights, like the one that brought hundreds of Moroccan fans into Qatar ahead of their team’s upset win over Spain, will start to be arranged for fans from the … [Read more...] about Qatar Misses Goal for World Cup Visitors

A sunny Spanish city is the best place to break the shroud of darkness which comes with winter in the UK. In the run up to Christmas twinkling fairy lights, open fires and the warm glow of a mince pie oven do their best to break through the bleak mid-winter. Once the amount of daily sunlight has dropped to less than eight hours however, it's easy to let the Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) creep in regardless. If you're looking to escape these shores and top up your vitamin D levels, then Almería in Andalucía, Spain may be the place to go. The city has ranked top in a ranking of the sunniest European cities by loveholidays, clocking up an average of six hours and 18 minutes of sunshine per day between the months of December and February. Cyprus has a good amount of sunlight over the winter months ( Image: Golden Bay Beach) Two other hotspots in Andalucía also ranked within the top ten and are both easily reachable from most UK airports. That includes Cadiz … [Read more...] about Best European cities for winter sun including Barcelona, Seville and Marseille

Alarms sounded on United States Air Force bases in Spain and officers began packing all the low-ranking troops they could grab onto buses for a secret mission. There were cooks, grocery clerks and even musicians from the Air Force band. It was a late winter night in 1966 and a fully loaded B-52 bomber on a Cold War nuclear patrol had collided with a refueling jet high over the Spanish coast, freeing four hydrogen bombs that went tumbling toward a farming village called Palomares, a patchwork of small fields and tile-roofed white houses in an out-of-the-way corner of Spain’s rugged southern coast that had changed little since Roman times. It was one of the biggest nuclear accidents in history, and the United States wanted it cleaned up quickly and quietly . But if the men getting onto buses were told anything about the Air Force’s plan for them to clean up spilled radioactive material, it was usually, “Don’t worry.” “There was no talk about radiation or plutonium … [Read more...] about Decades Later, Sickness Among Airmen After a Hydrogen Bomb Accident
