The Alicante Tech Vibes Blog

Notes on tech, built by the Mediterranean.

Stories, ideas and field notes from the builders, founders and digital nomads turning the Costa Blanca into one of Europe's most talked-about tech corners.

Is Alicante the next tech hub in Europe?

We think something is happening on this stretch of coast. Founders relocating from Berlin and London, engineers going remote-first, a community that grows every month. This blog is where we document it — the wins, the honest tradeoffs, and what it actually takes to build a company from southern Spain.

What we write about.

Four threads we keep pulling on, from the practical to the big-picture.

01

Building & AI tools

How local builders ship — the stacks, the AI-native workflows, and the tools worth your time.

02

The Alicante scene

Who's founding, hiring and funding here, and why the Costa Blanca keeps pulling talent in.

03

The nomad economy

Visas, tax, cost of living and the realities of running a company from the Spanish coast.

04

Community & events

Recaps, lessons and the people behind the meetups connecting the region's tech scene.

05

Founder stories

Honest, first-person accounts of building from Alicante — the good editions and the hard ones.

06

Big questions

Where European tech is heading, and what a coast like this one means for the next decade.

Come for one article. Stay for the scene.

New pieces land here regularly. If you're building, curious, or just Alicante-adjacent — this is your window into what's happening on the Costa Blanca.
