Seville cinema tours
Discover the scenery of Seville’s movie 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 locations more unknown, both for its inhabitants and for 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.
The Seville that tells us about history
Most of the sets used in historical films are located in the intramural part of the city: the oldest part of Seville.Many productions have chosen this city to recreate historical settings. In this selection, we find films ranging from those set in the 17th century, like Alatriste by Agustín Díaz Yanes, and the 19th century, like Carmen by Vicente Aranda, to those that depict more recent events, such as Group 7, La Isla Mínima, and Model 77 by Alberto Rodríguez, which reflect Spain’s transition period and Seville just before Universal Exposition in 1992.

Seville in the 2000s
Through this collection of feature films, we can relive or discover a Seville that, while still close, is constantly evolving. By watching these films, you can notice the contrast: if you look carefully, you’ll spot significant changes in architecture, street furniture, transport, and shops. Take a walk through this city of the 2000s with Astronautas by Santi Amodeo, the controversial and daring Nadie conoce a nadie by Mateo Gil, the nocturnal atmosphere of After by Alberto Rodríguez, or the first Andalusian film to win a Goya Award: Solas by Benito Zambrano. Sometimes the narrated story requires places that aren’t immediately recognizable as part of the city, showcasing lesser-known areas and landscapes unfamiliar to outsiders, as seen in Cabeza de Perro by Santi Amodeo, the dystopian 3 Días, or El Crimen Ferpecto by Álex de la Iglesia. These films capture a Seville in constant transformation, a version of the city still vivid in the minds of those who knew it.

The most recent Seville
This selection of feature films that obtained nominations at the Goya Awards in recent years gives us the opportunity to create a current map of the city of Seville.With a few exceptions, most of the locations featured in these films remain present and recognizable today. Thanks to the thematic diversity we can move through different environments and neighborhoods of the city; from the streets of Triana or Los Remedios with Yo, también, by Álvaro Pastor and Antonio Naharo, Ocho apellidos vascos, by Emilio Martinez Lázaro, or El inconveniente, by Bernabé Rico, to different areas downtown in El autor, by Each film portrays a Seville that is both diverse and unique. In Los niños salvajes by Patricia Ferreira, familiar places appear, reflecting a Seville that, in fiction, sometimes disguises itself as something else.
