Key Locations Ready to be Filmed
Andalusia's Most Cinematic Spots
Southern Spain delivers the visual diversity international productions need: UNESCO World Heritage palaces showcasing centuries of Moorish craftsmanship, whitewashed villages cascading down mountain slopes, Europe's only desert terrain, and Renaissance cities with perfectly preserved architecture. We've filmed across these provinces since 2008, which means we know the Alhambra's Patronato requires advance filming applications, when Granada's intense summer heat forces dawn-only shooting, and which dramatic locations work without lengthy permit processes.
Popular Filming Venues Around the Region:
Granada: Moorish Architecture & Alpine Peaks
Alhambra filming requires Patronato advance approval but delivers unmatched Moorish architecture. Albaicín's steep cobblestone maze works for handheld pursuit shots. Sacromonte caves offer natural acoustics and unique underground interiors. Sierra Nevada gives you ski resort backdrops in winter, hiking trails in summer. All within 45 minutes of Granada city center.
Córdoba: Historic Monuments & Olive Country
Jewish Quarter's narrow lanes and flower-filled patios photograph beautifully but need compact gear. Roman Bridge provides that postcard cathedral reflection shot everyone wants. Medina Azahara's archaeological ruins let you film ancient palace settings without modern intrusions. Surrounding olive groves create hypnotic patterns from drone altitude.
Cádiz: Atlantic Coast & Clifftop Villages
Cádiz's old town mixes crumbling baroque facades with Atlantic light that changes hourly. White villages like Arcos perch on cliff edges, dramatic but challenging for equipment transport. Tarifa's beaches get serious wind (great for kite surfing content, tough for audio recording). You can frame Africa across the strait on clear days.
Ronda & Mountains: Spain's Famous Gorge
Ronda's bridge spanning that 120-meter drop is Spain's most photographed structure for good reason, works from multiple angles. The 18th-century bullring interior is pristine and film-ready. Surrounding white villages like Setenil literally grow out of rock overhangs. Mountain roads deliver hairpin turns and valley vistas.
Almería: Desert Badlands & Volcanic Coast
Tabernas Desert looks like Mars or Monument Valley depending how you light it. Old western sets are still standing and available. Cabo de Gata's volcanic cliffs and empty beaches work for anything needing "end of the world" aesthetic. Summer heat here is brutal: early morning or evening shoots only.
Regional filming across Andalusia requires understanding each location's permit requirements and approval timelines. We coordinate Alhambra Patronato applications, municipal permits, natural park access, and UNESCO site logistics while managing extreme summer temperatures and planning efficient shooting schedules across multiple provinces.

I’ve worked with Markus over a variety of video production projects over many years, including medical educational, live streaming and multicamera shoots. Whether it was Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia or Lisbon, his services have always been well organised and helpful, with great results every time.

Head of Video and News, ecancer
I have been working with Markus and Camera Crew Spain for many years, and he is our go-to professional whenever we are in Spain. Markus is always dependable, providing top-notch crews equipped with the latest cameras and gear. No matter the shooting requirements, he consistently delivers exceptional results. While many crews possess the experience, equipment, and expertise, there are only a few I truly enjoy spending a week with – and Markus is undoubtedly one of them. Highly recommended!
Mike Wood
Director, Producer, and Filmmaker, inEvidence
Markus Ruf served as my local producer on a 90 minute, prime-time special about Barcelona which I directed for Canal Plus in France. This was not your run-of-the-mill documentary; it involved the hiring of actors, extras, props, special effects, costumes, and numerous long shooting days with multiple locations. Through it all Markus and his team at Camera Crew Spain handled it all with calm professionalism and a ‘can-do’ spirit. He supplied me with top researchers, camera operators, and sound engineers who could function in any language I needed – in my case English and French. I cannot recommend Makus and Camera Crew Spain highly enough. I make programs all over the world and know how difficult it is to find top quality production services on location. Markus Ruf is someone you can definitely trust to get the job done – and somehow he always does it with enthusiasm and a smile.

Jordan deBree
Director & Creative, Heist - San Francisco USA
I was lucky enough to work with Markus in a big production in Spain last month. His work ethic, professionalism and personality are truly incredible. In only one week, he was able to organize a crew with talented people and make everything happen in the smoothest way possible. I was told Markus had a special “aura” and this is absolutely true. It has been a privilege for me working with him and I really hope there will be other opportunities in the near future.

Ready to film across Andalusia's most iconic locations?
We've been producing across Granada, Córdoba, Cádiz, and Southern Spain's toughest locations since 2008. English-speaking crews who know which permits take weeks versus days, and fixers who solve problems before they hit your schedule.
Request a quoteFrequently Asked Questions About Filming in Andalusia
Last-minute shoots: crews confirmed within 24 hours, on-site in 48-72 hours. Alhambra filming needs 2-3 weeks for Patronato approval. Remote mountain or coastal locations may need extra coordination days. Tell us your timeline and location, we'll give you realistic scheduling.
Yes. We manage applications for the Alhambra, Mezquita-Cathedral, and other protected monuments. Each has different requirements: the Alhambra charges hourly fees and limits filming times, the Mezquita involves ecclesiastical permissions. Our relationships with Andalusian heritage authorities help, but advance planning is essential.
Everything that requires local knowledge: location scouting across Granada, Córdoba, and interior provinces, permit applications for heritage sites and municipalities, talent casting for Spanish-speaking roles, equipment coordination, accommodation for multi-city shoots, and on-set liaison with authorities and vendors.
Yes. We handle unified crew scheduling across cities, equipment transport between locations (Granada to Cádiz is 250km), accommodation logistics, consolidated permitting, and centralized English-speaking production management. One point of contact for your entire regional shoot.
Sony FX9 or RED Komodo cameras, cinema lenses, complete lighting kits (strong HMIs for intense sunlight), professional audio, gimbals, and monitors. Equipment configured for Andalusia's challenges: extreme heat, narrow streets, heritage site restrictions. Drones available with proper permits.
Yes, with licensed Spanish AESA-certified pilots. Granada's Alhambra has no-fly zones, Córdoba's historic center has restrictions, but rural areas and coastal locations often allow flexibility. We handle all AESA notifications, coordinate with authorities, and ensure full compliance.
Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) offer comfortable temps (18-25°C) and good light. Summer (June-August) hits 38-45°C in Granada and Córdoba: requires dawn and evening shoots only. Winter has fewer tourists and great light but shorter days. We adapt schedules to seasonal realities.
It depends on your crew size, shoot days, and locations. A single-day corporate shoot with a 3-person crew typically runs differently than a week-long multi-city documentary requiring permits and transport. Heritage site fees (like Alhambra's hourly rates) add to budgets. Contact us with your project details and we'll send a transparent breakdown covering crew, equipment, permits, and logistics so you know exactly what you're paying for.
