If your routine is always the same—the same schedule, the same tools on the desk, the same calls every morning—you probably could use a permanent position. If, on the other hand, your schedule changes constantly and you need to come only a few days or a few hours, a flexible position fits you better. The real difference isn't in price or comfort—both options offer the same furniture, the same connection, and access to meeting rooms—but in how much you value stability versus schedule freedom.

In this article we see, with concrete examples, when to choose each modality, what each one includes at WorkSpace Coworking Almería and what to do if your needs change over time.

1. Fixed desk vs. flexible desk: the difference in a table

Both modalities give you access to the same space, the same historic building in the center of Almeria, and the same common services. What changes is this:

The question that truly decides between one and the other is not «which one is cheaper?», but rather «do I need my workstation to look the same every day, or do I need it to adapt to me?».

2. When is it convenient for you FIX Post

If you need focus and a stable routine

When your work demands sustained concentration—analysis, design, writing long reports—having the same desk every day eliminates a small but constant friction: not having to reorganize your space every morning. You can leave your second monitor set up, your notes where you left them the day before, and start working immediately instead of spending the first few minutes getting settled.

If you receive daily calls or video calls

If your day includes frequent online meetings, a fixed desk gives you something that the flexible one cannot guarantee in the same way: predictability regarding your environment. You know exactly what background, what lighting, and what noise level you are going to have before logging on, because it is the same desk every day.

3. When is it convenient for you FLEX position

If your schedule changes from week to week

If some weeks you work mornings and others afternoons, or if you only need the coworking space two or three specific days, paying for a dedicated desk all month doesn't make sense. The FLEX desk is designed for exactly this: you choose the time slot (mornings, afternoons, full day, or 24/7 access) and pay according to your actual use.

If you are a digital nomad or just passing through Almeria

For anyone without a fixed routine in the city—traveling freelancers, consultants who alternate between fieldwork and the office, or professionals just spending a season in Almeria—the advantage of the hot desk isn't just the price: it's not having to commit to a specific space when you don't even know for sure how many days you'll need it.

4. FIX and FLEX WorkSpace Desk Prices

FIX Position: €168/month. Personalized and fixed desk, with expanded 24/7 access starting from the second month.

FLEX Position: Four modalities according to your usual schedule:

Access from Monday to Friday is from 8:00 to 19:00 (depending on the chosen membership); the only exception is FLEX 24h, with access 7 days a week.

All modalities include the Workspace guaranteesno binding contract and a refund during the first week if the space doesn't fit your needs.

5. What if I change my mind later?

It is common for needs to change over time: someone who starts with a flexible desk because they are trying out coworking often ends up requesting a dedicated desk once their routine settles — and vice versa, if your workload becomes more variable. Changing plans is simple: it is managed from your Workspace Private Area or directly with the team, with a 15-day prior notice. The price is adjusted by prorating between the two plans — a credit note is issued for the remaining days on your current plan, which is deducted from the new contract.

If you still aren't sure which one fits you best, the quickest way to decide is to try it out: WorkSpace offers a half-day pass so you can see for yourself how you work best before committing to a plan.
