🇦🇷Córdoba
Pros
- +Lower cost of living than Buenos Aires with good quality of life for nomads
- +Strong student and university vibe with lots of cultural events and nightlife
- +Growing digital nomad ecosystem with several modern coworking spaces and work-friendly cafés
- +Good internet infrastructure with fibre widely available in central neighbourhoods
Cons
- −Safety is mixed: central and student areas are fine with normal precautions, but some barrios should be avoided
- −English is not widely spoken outside coworkings and some cafés – basic Spanish is very helpful
- −Public transport relies mainly on buses which can be confusing at first and crowded at rush hour
- −Air quality and noise can be an issue along busy avenues and in summer heat waves

Cons
- −Smaller digital nomad scene than Buenos Aires or big international hubs
