What you need to know

Drone filming
in Barcelona.

Barcelona is one of the most filmed cities in Europe and also one of the most restrictive for flying: El Prat, the port and much of the centre sit in controlled airspace. Outside the city, the Maresme, Garraf and Montserrat offer coast and mountains less than an hour away.

Travel

From our Catalan base, Barcelona is an hour and a half away: a day shoot with no hotel. For large shoots, the Murcia crew joins in.

How we work

From the script
to the clapperboard.

We join your production in Barcelona as its aerial unit, with pilot, camera operator and DIT, and the permits sorted before the first shoot day.

01

Reading the shot list

We mark the aerial shots, suggest the platform for each one (Inspire 3, FPV or Mavic 3 Cine) and estimate the shoot days.

02

Recce and permits

Location, light by the hour and flight paths. We handle AESA, ENAIRE coordination where airspace is controlled, and municipal or environmental authorisations.

03

Shoot day

Pilot, camera operator and DIT on set, with radios to the director and the aerial feed on the director's monitor.

04

Footage delivery

8K ProRes RAW from the Inspire 3 or 6K R3D from the FPV, with LUTs and copies verified before leaving set.

FAQ

Questions about
shooting in Barcelona.

Can you fly a drone in central Barcelona?add

Yes, with a municipal permit, AESA and, in controlled airspace, ENAIRE coordination. The most protected monuments may also require their own authorisation and longer lead times.

Do you have a base near Barcelona?add

Our Catalan base is an hour and a half from the city, so Barcelona, the Maresme or Garraf are covered as day shoots with no hotel.

How much does a drone operator cost for a shoot in Barcelona?add

An aerial unit day plus urban permits, with no long travel. We send the 2026 rate card with the quote, on request.

Do you work in Catalan?add

Yes. Alex Viñals, co-founder and camera operator, is Catalan; on set we work in Catalan, Spanish or English.
