The majestic Tabernas desert in Almería, the Alcázar of Seville, the emblematic Playa de la Caleta in Cádiz, the historic Albaycín neighborhood in Granada, the vibrant Port of Málaga, the picturesque streets of Úbeda, the impressive landscapes of the Huelva mining basin, and the imposing Almodóvar Castle in Córdoba are just a small sample of the more than 300 cinematic destinations that can be explored in the web from Andalusia Film
Commission.
Since its creation in 2018, as part of the Andalucía Film Commission project ‘The Great Film Route through Andalusia’, this digital platform has allowed travellers and film lovers to discover the enormous diversity of Andalusian settings that have been chosen for the filming of films and television series, ranging from classics such as ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ or ‘Verano azul’ to contemporary hits such as ‘Cerrar los ojos’ or ‘Los Farad’. The website offers more than 35 thematic and monographic routes dedicated to iconic series such as ‘Game of Thrones’, ‘The Crown’ or ‘The Snow Girl’, as well as films such as ‘El verano que viviendo’ or ‘Exodus’. In addition, thematic routes such as ‘Movie Hotels’, ‘Andalusia and Music’ or ‘Andalusia of Fantasy’ are included, and others dedicated to prominent figures such as Pedro Almodóvar or Sean Connery.
This summer, the website is further enriched with the addition of five new thematic routes that allow you to explore Andalusia’s beaches and coastal destinations that have been filming locations. Each destination on the website is accompanied by detailed information about the location, the series or film filmed there, and interesting anecdotes from the filming, thus offering an immersive experience for visitors. Visiting filming locations in Andalusia is just the beginning of a broader cultural experience. These destinations also offer the opportunity to enjoy local cuisine, traditions and the region’s rich cultural heritage.
In addition, users have 18 film maps at their disposal that make it easier to travel on foot or by car through the most emblematic places in the Andalusian community. These maps include itineraries, estimated duration, information about each stop, and recommendations about the most important points on each route. Through a QR code or a direct link, it is possible to access the itinerary on Google Maps or on the website ‘Andalucía, destino de cine’ to obtain more details about each destination.
This pioneering and unique project in Spain, developed by the Andalucía Film Commission in collaboration with Turismo Andaluz of the Andalusian Regional Government’s Tourism Department, invites visitors to explore the wealth and variety of settings that have made Andalusia a true film destination.
