That said I haven't checked the market recently so I don't know how much remote work for new hires for companies based in Catalonia has taken off. If it has maybe you could take advantage of working remotely and basing yourself in a cheap area.

Another reason for basing yourself in BCN when you're in your mid-20s is the nightlife of course.

Of course nightlife might be another reason for some, then again you might not be able to find an apartment that central. Our place is 10 mins drive from Lloret and I'd say there is plenty if nightlife for young and old;).

You are right and Sant Cugat is another option, just looked at rentals and cheapest â‚¬700, then another â‚¬850 on idealista. Everything else â‚¬950+ and maybe more for families.
