Welcome to ‘Live it up, Las Palmas!’, the vibrant heart of Gran Canaria’s international community. Our mission is simple: to create a dynamic and supportive network for digital nomads, expats, remote workers, immigrants, and local professionals. With over 10,000 members, we are proud to be the largest community of its kind in Gran Canaria, fostering connections, collaboration, and a shared love for this beautiful island.
Founded as a passion project by Nelleke Meijer, ‘Live it up, Las Palmas!’ began as a way to bring people together from all corners of the globe. Nelleke, a former digital nomad who fell in love with Gran Canaria, envisioned a space where individuals could share experiences, seek advice, and build friendships. Today, that vision has blossomed into a thriving community with a presence on various platforms, including a dedicated Slack channel.
Our community is more than just a network; it’s a resource. Members have access to a wealth of information about Gran Canaria, from the best co-working spaces and restaurants to essential services like medical care. We also offer exclusive deals and discounts, helping you make the most of your time on the island.
One of our key offerings is assistance with the Spanish digital nomad visa, making the transition to island life as smooth as possible for those looking to embrace the remote work lifestyle in Spain. Our commitment to inclusivity means that we operate primarily in English, ensuring that language barriers don’t hinder anyone’s ability to join and engage with our community.
At ‘Live it up, Las Palmas!’, we believe in the power of connection. Whether it’s through our regular events and meetups, organized dinners, or simply a spontaneous gathering, there’s always an opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and create lasting memories.
We are more than just a community; we are a family. And like any family, we have our house rules, which every member agrees to upon joining. These guidelines ensure that our community remains a respectful, welcoming, and supportive environment for everyone.
