GALICIA'S DRAMATIC COASTLINE MEETS CELTIC HERITAGE
Galicia gives you Atlantic coastline, working ports, medieval towns, and dramatic river canyons - all within a couple hours' drive. We've been filming here since 2008. We know which beaches work at what tide, which heritage sites need weeks for permits, and which inland locations can be set up in days. Our local fixers handle the weather contingencies and paperwork that come with shooting on Spain's Atlantic coast.
Popular Filming Venues Around the Region:
Vigo: Atlantic Port & Modern Waterfront
Galicia's largest city with working fishing port and modern waterfront for commercial shoots. Ferry access to Cíes Islands (protected beaches, requires advance permits for filming). O Berbés neighborhood delivers authentic fishing village aesthetic. Industrial port and shipyards work for corporate or documentary content. Equipment transport straightforward, one hour from Portuguese border for multi-country productions.
A Coruña - Glass City & Coastal Urban
Glass-facade architecture creates modern urban backdrops, city beaches (Riazor and Orzán) provide Atlantic coast with cityscape. Old town narrow streets to modern promenade in single location. Strong Atlantic winds: plan for challenging audio recording but excellent for dramatic coastal footage.
Santiago de Compostela: Medieval Pilgrimage Architecture
Cathedral Square and medieval old town for heritage content and tourism campaigns. Stone streets and covered arcades offer weather-protected shooting. Camino pilgrims provide authentic background activity. Central Galicia location: efficient crew base for multi-location shoots covering coast and interior. Heritage permits take 3-4 weeks minimum.
Regional filming across Galicia requires understanding each location's permit requirements and seasonal considerations. We coordinate Santiago's heritage office applications, handle multiple municipal permits when productions move between cities, and scout practical alternatives when your first-choice location timing doesn't work. Atlantic weather affects coastal schedules so we build contingencies and indoor backups into production plans from the start.

Galicia Productions Backed By Years Of Experience
We've worked with international clients across Galicia since 2008. Here's what they say about working with our English-speaking crews, fixers, and production coordinators in Vigo, A Coruña, Santiago de Compostela, and throughout the region.
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.
Jon Birch
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.
Peter Stuart
Director, Canal +, France

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.
