Remote workers (many of them freelance) flock to Spain’s Canary Islands, and “It’s a dream come true”, El País reports.
The trend started early in 2020, with Gran Canaria currently leading the pack: “Up until last year, between 5% and 10% of renters were remote workers. Since October, that number is 90%,” says one property manager based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

If you own any valuable .EU domains, you should protect them against hijacking, unintended changes, deletions or transfers via EURid’s Registry Lock Service. Not to confuse for less safe Registrar Lock, it provides the highest level of security for most valuable and highly visible domain names, and can only be lifted with the assistance of human operators and multi-factor verification.
You can search the list of accredited registrars to find those who support Registry Lock in your country and language. For example, we have registry-locked our primary domains Freelancing.eu and Freelance.eu with Czechia.com, an outstanding professional registrar.
