Public Transport Passes
Vectalia lists an urban Santa Pola multi-trip card at 12 euro, 1.20 euro a trip, and a Santa Pola to Alicante card at 21 euro, 2.10 euro a trip. The page still cites discount decrees from 2024 and from 1 July to 31 December 2025, so these may not be the ordinary fare after that window. A 1.50 euro single and a 35 euro monthly pass were not on the page. 8 9
Regional Travel
Vectalia line 1 is the direct bus to Alicante, about 55 minutes on the weekday timetable. A separate Vectalia service runs Santa Pola, the airport and San Vicente. The travel guide says to check Vectalia for Elche and gives no fare. The tram does not serve Santa Pola. 5 8

Tax System
Residents (183 days in the calendar year, or a centre of vital interests in Spain) are taxed on worldwide income. Non-residents are taxed on Spanish-source income. 16 17

On a resale in the Valencian Community, transfer tax is 9% for deeds from 1 June 2026, or 11% when the property or the right is worth over 1 million euro. A new home is charged VAT instead, and the reduced VAT rate on dwellings is 10%. 19 21
Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads
Employed remote workers with the international telework visa can opt into the inbound regime: withholding is 24% on employment income up to 600,000 euro and 47% above that, for the year of the move and the next five, if they were not resident in the previous five years.
