Just ten years ago, coworking in Vigo was almost anecdotal. Back in 2015, the city had only three coworking spaces. Today, in 2025, that number is close to thirty. This rapid growth reflects not only a change in the way we work but also how professionals seek to connect, collaborate, and reduce costs.

Why has coworking multiplied?

Several factors explain this boom, but they all have one thing in common: flexibility.

• Lower costs: Renting a coworking desk ranges between €100 and €150 per month—far cheaper than leasing a traditional office. Daily passes are also available from €19.
• Professional synergies: Sharing space encourages collaboration, knowledge exchange, and new business opportunities.
• An alternative to remote work: Many professionals don’t want to work from home but can’t afford a private office either.

A diverse and growing offer

While many coworking spaces are general-purpose, Vigo has also seen the rise of specialized hubs:

• Digital and IT-focused, like Distrito Digital, aimed at building a freelance programmer community.
• Creative and artistic, like Bendita Locura, where artisans and designers share workshops and showcase their work.
• Sector-specific coworking spaces, such as those for legal professionals—or even female-oriented hubs.

Where are these spaces located?

Most coworking spaces are concentrated in the city center, but other neighborhoods like As Travesas, Coia, Balaídos, and even Navia—which now has four coworking spaces—have also embraced this trend.

From necessity to opportunity

What began as an unfilled niche has now become a practical solution to Vigo’s shortage of office rentals and high leasing prices. Beyond affordability, coworking has fostered professional communities that enrich the city’s work culture.

All signs suggest that coworking in Vigo will continue to grow, adapting to new ways of working and to the needs of those who want more than just a desk and chair: a space to connect and thrive.
