We have to admit: while telecommuting is quite good and has many advantages, sitting in front of the computer for long hours without leaving the house and without any contact with the outside world can take its toll. Do you feel identified? If you’ve been working piecemeal from home lately, it’s very likely that you’d appreciate a change of scenery to help you focus and be more productive. For example, changing your desk for a large table, your table lamp for natural light and your work chair for a much more comfortable chair can help a lot. And for a good breakfast or a good snack in between, also a sparkling coffee. Sounds good, right?
There are some places that can become the perfect new workspace. We’re talking about those ‘workplace’ canteens with a good Wi-Fi connection (essential, yes or yes), wide tables and finally a very ideal environment to grab your computer and work in a relaxed and calm way while drinking a good coffee. These establishments have gained a lot of popularity in recent years – especially in big capitals like Madrid and thanks to the success of Instagram – and for all they offer they can become a breath of fresh air for all those people who telecommute, now never more. Also for those who study, for example.
Do you need a change of scenery to concentrate better in front of the computer or in front of an open book? We took a short tour of some of the best workplace cafes in Madrid where you can work and relax for a few hours in a relaxed atmosphere, while tasting some sweets or a drink… The majority of these cafeterias are located in the central and alternative district of Malasaña, but there are also many spread over other parts of the capital, in important places in the city that are easily accessible, such as the Chueca, Chamberí or Ópera districts.
