Discover Seville’s film sets. The map ‘Sevilla de cine’ offers you a different way to see and enjoy the Andalusian capital. The location scouts Nieves González and Lucía Escassi show us the monumental Seville and its architectural and scenic beauty, but also claim those lesser-known locations, for both its inhabitants and visitors. From Plaza España to the narrow streets of the Santa Cruz neighborhood, the city offers endless possibilities to shoot among its streets, its greenery, its light and its people.
