Seville is a unique setting for your filming

With its markedly Mediterranean climate, more than 310 days of sunshine a year and mild temperatures, Seville  is the perfect location for an audiovisual production.

Being an international tourist destination, Seville has an unbeatable range of hotels, restaurants and complementary services in one of the Spanish cities with the best security indexes.

On the other hand, as the capital of Andalusia, it is one of the cities with the best infrastructure in our country. It has an international airport,  high-speed train connection with Madrid (2 hours and 30 minutes) and the rest of the national capitals, subway and tram, and the coast is only an hour away by car.

Seville is fascinating. Eventhough the city is worldwide known, it has thousands of treasures awaiting to be discovered.

It’s not just about its rich history and unmatched cultural heritage. Over the years, the city has reinvented itself, blending tradition with a fresh, modern spirit and innovation.

Our city is a vibrant European capital where open, pedestrian-friendly spaces, stylish establishments, contemporary architecture, and over 3,000 years of history come together in perfect harmony.

Sevilla offers World Heritage Monuments and the largest pedestrian historic centre in Europe, where Baroque, Gothic and Mudejar styles blend in with internationally admired examples of modern architecture.

Seville is also about its neighbourhoods, the industrial landscapes, and the presence of the great Guadalquivir River, which leave no one unbothered.

Ever since 1896, when a team of the Lumière brothers filmed images of Holy Week, Seville has been a formidable audiovisual set.

The Plaza de España, has witnessed the memorable walks in Lawrence of Arabia, or a young Darth Vader in Star Wars: Episode IV; The Real Alcázar doubled the beautiful kingdom of Dorme in Game of Thrones; the University of Seville looked on the love affairs of a cigarette maker in Carmen, the narrow streets of the city became a race track for Tom Cruise and the rooftops of the Artillery Factory were the setting for the chases in Grupo 7.

An endless list of productions have found their Arab kingdom, their medieval city, their chase a across cfice buildings, the backstory for a neighbourhood character, the cold and modern scene of a crime, their dreamed garden, here, in Seville.

In short, to say that there are as many Seville as you can imagine is not a cliché.
