The main purpose of a film is to create a believable story therefore having a good location is very important. Most production companies choose real places because they have a bigger impact on the screen, what is more their cost usually attracts small productions with a tight budget.
In Spain there are amazing locations for all kinds of stories, not only for films or TV fiction but also for commercials. According to the Spain Film Commission the diversity of the Spanish landscapes is remarkable: 4,971 milesof coast with long beaches, coves with clear water, cliffs and islands; aside from more than 100 natural reserves with snowy, tropical, arid and deserted landscapes.
Furthermore, the mixture of cultures in Spain provides a wonderful architecture for example roman bridges and aqueducts, medieval town, rural villages, modern cities or innovative buildings. A bad choice of location may wreck a production but when it is well done the benefits are great.
Real location’s detractors always claim reasons as the unpredictable weather. However,Spainhas a perfect climate for shoots. Summers are long and winters are soft with more than 300 long days of sunlight per year, as the Spain Film Commission states.
To sum up, geographical qualities make of Spain a perfect country to shoot a film.
