PRODUCTIVESpain is the world’s 13th largest economy and an international leader in a wide range of sectors such as transportation engineering, finance, energy, textiles, and sports.

DELICIOUSSpanish cuisine is famous around the globe and restaurants in Spain have repeatedly received Michelin stars and even been rated the best in the world by other international authorities. Health experts are unanimous in praising the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.

HISTORICALSpain is an inexhaustible source of interesting stories tucked away in monuments, historic neighborhoods, archaeological sites, and landscapes and one of the greatest repositories of Western cultural heritage. It also has unique and enduring cultural ties with the Americas.

CULTURALArtistic creation in all its forms is indelibly encoded into the DNA of Spain. Painting, architecture, music, design, fashion, and, of course, FILMMAKING form an integral part of its multifaceted identity. Proud and authentic, Spanish cultures have made scores of priceless contributions to world heritage over the centuries.

INTERNATIONALWith more than 500 million native speakers, Spanish is now the second most spoken language in the world, and Spanish aesthetics, customs, and thought have deeply influenced Latin American culture, which is progressively gaining greater global exposure and acclaim.

EFFERVESCENTEveryone loves the Spanish lifestyle. With 300 sunny days a year, Europe’s best array of leisure time activities, hundreds of cultural festivals, and numerous traditions accorded UNESCO intangible heritage status, every corner of Spain is simply bursting with energy.

SAFEAccording to United Nations statistics, Spain is the 7th healthiest country in the world. Thanks to its excellent security services, it is also one of the safest countries in Europe.

DIVERSEThe steady confluence of cultures on the Iberian Peninsula from the earliest of times and the forces of history have together forged a country extraordinarily rich in heritage and diversity. Spain is the third most represented country on UNESCO’s World Heritage list, with 45 sites in all. It is also one of the European Union’s richest reservoirs of biological diversity and a natural link between Europe and Africa for thousands of bird species that migrate between the two continents every year.

WELCOMINGSpain is the world’s top destination for vacation travel and ranks third internationally in terms of annual incoming visitors. Everyone is invited.

¡ACCIÓN!

Why are so many films shot in this country?

A LONG INTERNATIONAL FILM TRADITIONSpain has a long history of hosting international film productions. Samuel Bronston maintained a studio in Madrid in the early ‘60s where blockbusters such as El Cid and Doctor Zhivago came to life. These days, a rising number of foreign television, animation, and advertising projects are being carried out in Spain as well.

GREAT TAX INCENTIVESGovernment tax rebates and credits for foreign productions offered at the national, regional, and local level are very competitive, ranging from 20 up to 40%.

AMAZING VARIETY OF LOCATIONSThe forces of history and nature have made Spain an unparalleled location for motion picture production. No other country offers the same level of geographic, cultural, and architectural diversity.

A PERFECT CLIMATE The long hours of sunlight and mild temperatures found in much of Spain year-round allow producers to plan accurate production schedules. However, with ten climate zones, the country offers verdant, misty, and snow-capped settings as well.

A SOLID AUDIOVISUAL SECTORSpain produces and exports every kind of audiovisual content. The Spanish audiovisual industry maintains a consolidated presence in the official AUDIOVISUAL FROM SPAIN stand at major international sector trade fairs. Spain is becoming an international reference in animation and cutting-edge film technologies. A Spaniard received a Scientific and Engineering Award from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2017.

TOTAL MOBILITYSpain has the most extensive high-speed rail network in Europe, 48 airports that offer fast and easy connections with major cities across the world, and more than 110,000 miles of roads and motorways.

TOP HOTEL AND HOSPITALITY SERVICES Spain’s tourism sector is fully equipped to satisfy the needs of every kind of incoming guest. Wherever you choose to shoot, and whatever your budget and specific requirements, Spain offers the right type of accommodation, dining, and catering facilities and services for any production team.

SPANISH EPICSSpain is a vivid tapestry of cultures and landscapes in which any type of story could unfold. Numerous civilizations and religions have left their imprint here over time—from Roman settlements to Arab medinas and Christian fortresses. In step with the times we live in, it also offers a stunning variety of cities known for their modern architecture and singular buildings. The following is a chronological overview of everything that Spanish history offers today’s storytellers.

PREHISTORIC SITESSpain is the home of numerous vestiges of the earliest stages of human cultural development such as the inexhaustible archaeological treasures of Atapuerca and the paleolithic cave paintings of Altamira, considered the most important and best preserved of their kind in the world.

BEAUTIFUL AL-ANDALUSThe conquest of nearly the entire Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands by Muslim invaders marked the emergence of Al-Andalus, whose last stronghold on the continent, the Nazarid Sultanate of Granada, survived until the end of the fifteenth century. The impact of Muslim rule on Spanish culture is still visible today in the form of numerous, astonishing, well-preserved buildings that could be straight out of A Thousand and One Nights.

THE CONFLUENCE OF CULTURESThe confluence of three of the world’s major religions (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism) in eighth-century Spain triggered a rich period of mutual cultural exchange. Mozarabs (Christians living in Muslim-ruled territories) and Mudejars (their Muslim counterparts residing in Christian-governed territories) both developed unique styles of art and architecture.

MEDIEVAL SITES Conflict between kings and nobles intensified in the Late Middle Ages. These struggles, symbolized today by innumerable castles dotting the landscape of Spain, marked the threshold of the early modern era.

THE WINDS OF COLONIALISMThe discovery of America changed the course of history and triggered an extended period of civil construction and engineering, many examples of which have survived intact. Examples of housing and urban design that served as models for architecture and urban development in Latin America can be still found throughout Spain today.

BAROQUE DRAMAThe sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which are associated with the Counter-Reformation movement led by the Spanish monarchy and often referred to collectively as the Spanish Golden Age, constituted one of the most culturally productive periods of Spanish history. This was also a time of extensive urban renovation, during which Baroque façades gave Spanish cities a new and dramatic look and congested areas were cleared to create spacious squares.

ENLIGHTENED DESPOTISM“Everything for the people but nothing by the people”: the arrival of the new Bourbon dynasty in the eighteenth century meant reformism, the consolidation of absolute monarchy, and the introduction of Enlightenment ideas to Spain. Cities were beautified and modernized with broad new avenues and neoclassical buildings.

THE AGE OF GOYAFrancisco de Goya’s work immortalized the crisis of the ancien régime and the dawn of contemporary Spain. The war against Napoleon, whose occupation of Spain had been carried out with the acquiescence the royal family, was in equal measure a revolution that paved the way for the declaration of the first Spanish Constitution in 1812. Goya did not depict the Peninsular War in terms of heroism, but as a blunt and lucid modern criticism of violence.

THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONThe progressive implementation of nineteenth-century liberalism ran parallel to the industrial revolution, which brought steel, glass, and steam power to urban areas of Spain. During this period, cities sprouted new neighborhoods laid out in modern grids that incorporated the latest technological advances.

THE WOUNDS OF WAR From 1936 to 1939 Spain was torn apart by a fratricidal war, the vestiges of which can still be seen today.

RAPID DEVELOPMENTThe economic development that began in the 1960s and was consolidated during the 1970s sparked the emergence of a consumer society, a boom in tourism, the vertiginous growth of Spanish cities, and the creation of high-rise vacation home communities.

TRACES OF THE 20th CENTURY The harsh, somber lines of Spain’s remaining fascist architecture are a legacy of the forty years of dictatorship that followed the end of the war.

CONTEMPORARY SOPHISTICATION Today’s Spain is a thriving and dynamic country recognized for its leadership in a wide variety of sectors and admired for its can-do attitude and vanguard business facilities, cultural centers, restaurants, wineries, and infrastructures.

ANCESTRAL SOCIETIESIndigenous societies that emerged in Spain during the first millennium BC were greatly enriched by the contributions of the most advanced civilizations of the western Mediterranean and central Europe. Celts, Phoenicians, and Greeks all exerted a decisive influence on the mosaic of autochthonous peoples that inhabited the peninsula at that time.

BARBARIAN THRONESCrisis within the Roman world and the collapse of the Western Empire at the end of the fifth century led to the rise of a myriad of kingdoms founded by barbarian peoples. The Alans, Vandals, and Suevi that came to control various areas of Hispania were eventually subdued by the Visigoths, who established a royal court in Toledo.

ROMANESQUE HERITAGEThe small nuclei of Christian communities in the north of Spain that managed to thwart the further expansion of the Andalusian state gradually formed definable territories into which Romanesque art and architecture was introduced from France via the Saint James’s Way, a still-travelled route leading to the pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela.

GOTHIC RADIANCEAs Christian kingdoms consolidated their political hegemony throughout the peninsula they celebrated their triumph by constructing monumental cathedrals in the Gothic style whose extraordinary stained glass windows still dazzle visitors today.

MODERN TIMESThe transition between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was marked by glaring social differences but also the imagination and creativity of new artistic movements such as Art Nouveau, which was known in Spain as Modernismo.

ROMAN HISPANIAAfter wresting control of the peninsula from the Carthaginians in the first century BC, the Romans annexed it to their empire as Hispania and sought to supplant the traces of earlier cultures there. Spain has magnificent examples of architecture and infrastructure dating back to this period.

RENAISSANCE WISDOMThe late fifteenth-century union of Aragon and Castile under the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella ushered in what was to be Spain’s period of greatest splendor. From this time on, each kingdom and territory would retain its singular identity but be united under the authority of a Hispanic monarch. The Spanish Renaissance would continue to produce artistic and scientific achievements inspired by humanist thinking in the sixteenth century.

SPANISH SETTINGS

Orson Welles once asserted that Spain offers a continent’s worth of great locations. What kind of production are you planning to shoot? What kind of atmosphere are you looking for? Spain is the perfect backdrop for every genre under the sun.

Spain abounds in lush, green zones and ancient woodlands perfect for shooting mystery and fantasy stories set in any type of environment from an Atlantic forest or Mediterranean pine grove to a Jurassic jungle. It also has scores of fairy-tale villages.

EXOTIC ENVIRONMENTS

MAGICAL PLACES

Historic palaces and gardens from Andalusia to Aragon known for their air of Eastern exoticism have provided glorious backdrops for recent movies like Assassin’s Creed (Justin Kurzel, 2016) as well as film classics such as Lawrence of Arabia (David Lean, 1962).
