Best coworking spaces in Barcelona
1. Aticco MED
📍 Poblenou · monthly fixed €360+ · monthly flex €220+ · day pass €35 · flexible options
Aticco Med was the first coworking space we visited in Barcelona, We were instantly struck by the beautiful seafront location, which really stands out, as most of the city’s coworking spaces are in the inner city.
This space is located off the beaten path in the Poblenou neighbourhood, which has become a hub for startups and entrepreneurs. Aticco has a fleet of five coworking spaces in Barcelona in total, each offering something a little different. A standout feature at Aticco Med is the outdoor terrace area with a swimming pool, looking out onto the sea.
Towards the end of the day during my visit, some coworkers used the terrace as an exercise space. Classes are held here frequently, and there are also tables where you can work or mingle. Talks are sometimes held outside on the beach too.
The facilities inside are excellent. It’s a big space, set across three high-ceilinged floors. There are various fixed and hot-desking spaces in an open-plan area, and also meeting rooms and quiet areas for when you need to work free from interruption. Communal spaces are dotted throughout, including kitchens, lounge areas and a ping-pong table.
In addition to the regular price options for monthy membership or day passes, Aticco also offers Bono 5/30 and 10/30 packages, giving you access for five days (€125) or ten days (€179) during a 30-day period.

2. La Vaca Coworking
📍 Poble Sec · monthly fixed €240 · monthly flex €190 · day pass €22 · flexible options
Poble Sec is a quieter neighbourhood of Barcelona situated a little out of the way, at the foot of Montjuïc Hill and next to its plentiful green spaces. It’s a lovely base for working as you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the tree-lined streets while still being within walking distance of city centre attractions.
La Vaca Coworking is nestled just off Av del Paral·lel, the main thoroughfare in Poble Sec. This places it close to lots of local amenities and quirky cafés.
You might be aware that “vaca” translates to “cow”. The name reflects that the coworking space is built in a huge old cowshed, where local residents once frequented to buy milk. Coworking spaces that are set in repurposed buildings like this are often the most imaginative, and that’s definitely the case here!
The main space at La Vaca covers 300 square metres, which is put to good use. Integrated around the desk spaces are chill zones, soundproofed phone booths and meeting spaces. Downstairs, there is a further space in a 150-square-metre basement, which includes a pool table and smoking area.
There always seems to be something happening at La Vaca, whether it’s yoga practice, foodie events, or late night sessions. It’s a big, inspiring coworking space that really brings that community vibe.
Looking for some extra flexibility? La Vaca offers a “1/2 Flex” coworking package for €140, which lets you choose between morning or afternoon shifts. The day rate is also one of the very best in the city.
Find more details on the La Vaca website.

You couldn’t ask for a more central location. It’s right next to one of Barcelona’s most famous streets, and footsteps away from iconic Gaudí buildings. When you want to explore, the historic Gothic Quarter and lively El Born neighbourhood are a short walk away.
Inside the space, the design is tasteful and inspiring, having undergone refurbishment to bring out its Catalan vaulted features. It’s set across three integrated floors that together cover more than a thousand square metres.
