Where we shoot in Catalonia

City, coast and mountains
from our own base.

Within a two-hour radius, Catalonia offers almost any location a script calls for: Barcelona, Costa Brava coves, high mountains, vineyards, the delta and medieval villages. We know the areas, their permits and their airspace restrictions.
