The job market in Las Palmas

Tourism, port and shipping services, and public administration are the local employers. The remote-work population is large but mostly employed elsewhere — the local hiring market is smaller than the international community suggests.

Main industries

Tourism, shipping and port services, public administration, retail, and a small but visible technology and freelance sector.

English-speaking work

Useful in tourism and within the international community. Local employment is conducted in Spanish.

Typical salaries

Below the Spanish average. The Canary Islands have a distinct tax regime, including a local indirect tax (IGIC) instead of mainland VAT, which is worth understanding before freelancing here.

Cost of living

Moderate, with mild weather year-round reducing heating and cooling costs. Housing in the popular coastal areas has risen with remote-work demand.

Getting around

Buses across the island; a car is useful outside the city.

Useful local resources

The Canarian employment service alongside SEPE. Coworking spaces in Las Palmas function as the practical centre of the freelance market.
