Madrid is probably one of the most surprising coworking city we got the chance to visit. Why surprising? Because it was the first time in our entire journey that we came across coworking spaces with no computers, focusing on artistic and craft work. Having the opportunity to live such an experience was extremely meaningful to us and to our research.

In one week, we’ve met incredible people who have built focused spaces as a base to stronger communities. Without further ado, let’s have a closer look at one of the coolest city in Spain!

Read the individual stories we wrote about the 10 spaces we met in Madrid on our blog.
