Popular Filming Locations In Spain

MADRID

A major European production hub offering historic boulevards, grand civic squares such as the Plaza de España, the Baroque Royal Palace (Palacio Real), government districts, rooftop skylines, business quarters and classic residential neighbourhoods. Madrid is ideal for drama, commercials, corporate films and global brand campaigns.

BARCELONA AND CATALONIA

Modernist architecture, Gothic streets, Mediterranean beaches and sweeping viewpoints. Catalonia adds mountain roads, medieval towns and coastal villages that regularly double for international settings.

Balearic Islands — Mallorca, Ibiza & Menorca

The Balearic Islands — Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca — are renowned for turquoise coves, dramatic cliffs, yacht marinas, luxury villas and winding coastal roads, making them prime filming locations for fashion, lifestyle, automotive and hospitality productions.

Gran Canaria & the Canary Islands

Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura offer volcanic landscapes, black and golden sand beaches, desert dunes and futuristic roads — Gran Canaria alone packs deserts, forests and modern cityscapes into a single island. These islands are frequently used as filming locations for major international films and series, and the Canary Islands carry Spain’s highest film tax credit.

ANDALUSIA

From the Royal Alcázar of Seville to the white hill towns of Ronda and the Moorish architecture of Granada, Andalusia delivers warm light, diverse landscapes and year-round filming conditions. The region also takes in the Costa del Sol and, inland near Almería, the Tabernas Desert — mainland Europe’s only true desert and the classic spaghetti-western backcountry that still draws international shoots today.

VALENCIA AND COSTA BLANCA

Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences offers ultra modern backdrops, while Alicante and the Costa Blanca coastline provide beaches, marinas and Mediterranean skylines.

Basque Country & Northern Spain

The Basque Country, Galicia and Asturias offer rugged Atlantic coastlines, dramatic cliffs, medieval villages, lighthouses and cinematic mountain terrain — and the Basque Country carries its own enhanced filming incentives.

Famous Productions Filmed in Spain

Spain’s range of locations has drawn productions filmed across the country for decades — a few that put its regions on the map for filming in Spain:

Madrid — Money Heist (La Casa de Papel)

Netflix’s Money Heist was filmed mainly in and around Madrid: the heist’s “Royal Mint of Spain” exterior is the Spanish National Research Council building on Calle Serrano, while the later “Bank of Spain” façade is Madrid’s Ministry of Development on the Paseo de la Castellana.

Almería & the Tabernas Desert — Ridley Scott & the spaghetti westerns

The Tabernas Desert near Almería is one of Europe’s most filmed landscapes. Ridley Scott built the sets for Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) in the surrounding Sierra Alhamilla, decades after Sergio Leone shot his Dollar trilogy of spaghetti westerns there, and the same desert later doubled as the Dothraki Sea in Game of Thrones.

Almería, Málaga & Valencia — Black Mirror

Netflix’s Black Mirror has filmed several episodes in Spain — “Black Museum” in Almería, and Season 6’s “Mazey Day” across Málaga province (Marbella, Estepona and Ojén) and “Beyond the Sea” near Valencia.
