Filming locations in Spain

Spain is a fantastic country to film in. Here you’ll find fascinating and extraordinary nature like mountains deserts, forests, sand dunes, rivers and lakes. Did you know that Spain offers over 8000 km of coastline in three different seas as well as 3000 beaches, nature parks, tropical areas and flatlands? Spain also has a truly fascinating historical and architectural heritage that features castles, windmills, ancient walls, medieval villas, mountain and coastal villages, churches and chapels and forts.

In contrast to this you’ll find its modern and – sometimes – futuristic cities, airports, ports and stations. Barcelona for example, has always been a favorite place to shoot for many directors. Movie giants like Almodóvar, Woody Allen and the Oscar-winning director Alejandro Iñarritu has several times chosen the capital of Catalonia as the stage for their stories. Barcelona is a vibrant city that offers art, architecture and unique views that can enhance any story. As another example you have the capital Madrid that is the geographic centre of Spain. With its historic sites, green parks and vibrant cultural life, Madrid is a perfect city for filming. In addition, the weather is usually reliable as Madrid has 3,200 hours.
