About Cervera
The capital of Segarra in Catalonia and the birthplace of the 4-time MotoGP world champion, Marc Marquez, Cervera is awash in its medieval origins. A town on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage main route, it sits between the mountain pass of Les Savines and the Ondara riverbank in the province of Lleida. Cloaked in commercial and industrial activity, it is a hub for culture and art. Coworking venues have now opened their doors to cater to its innovative and creative inhabitants plus the intrepid souls who may wish to chat online as they tramp along the pilgrims trail.
Like many other Spanish cities, Cervera is seeing a change in the business scene that was once dominated by traditional roles. Today it is quite acceptable from a cultural point of view to say that you are an entrepreneur and not a civil servant. Spanish entrepreneurs have a competitive advantage of being able to grab skilled developers and engineers at a fraction of the Silicon Valley cost, which is why many startups are chasing their dreams in this land of wine and Jamon Iberico (Iberian ham) rather than heading to smog-filled big cities that have no soul.
