Valencia has become the default answer for people who want a Spanish city that is cheaper and calmer than Madrid or Barcelona without being small. The remote-work population has grown quickly, and a local tech scene has grown with it.

The job market in Valencia
A mid-sized market with a growing technology sector, a large agricultural and food export industry in the surrounding region, ceramics and manufacturing inland, and tourism along the coast. The port is one of the busiest in the Mediterranean.
There are fewer international corporate employers than in Madrid or Barcelona, so the English-language job market is thinner — but the cost of living means a remote salary from elsewhere goes a long way.
Main industries
Agriculture and food export, ceramics and manufacturing, logistics and shipping, software and digital, tourism, and health and education.
English-speaking work
Thinner than Madrid or Barcelona but not absent. Language academies hire steadily, there are international schools, and the growing tech scene includes companies working in English. Many of the foreigners working here are remote employees of companies elsewhere rather than locally hired.
Typical salaries
Below Madrid and Barcelona for equivalent roles, in a city that costs meaningfully less to live in. For locally-hired work the net effect is roughly neutral; for anyone earning elsewhere it is strongly favourable.
Cost of living
Noticeably cheaper than Madrid and much cheaper than Barcelona, though rents have risen fast as the city has become popular. Still the best cost-of-living case among Spain's larger cities.
Getting around
Metro, tram and bus, plus a flat, compact city that is unusually good for cycling — the Turia gardens run through the middle of it as a green corridor. Most people do not need a car.
Where people live
Ruzafa is the fashionable choice and priced accordingly. El Carmen is the old centre. Benimaclet has a student feel and is better value. Cabanyal, by the beach, has changed quickly. Extramurs and Campanar are quieter residential options.
Useful local resources
LABORA is the Valencian regional employment service, alongside the national SEPE. The city and region both run subsidised training programmes, and Valencia has an active network of coworking spaces that function as informal job markets for freelance work.
