Films being made in Spain are on the up

Andalucía offers something beautiful and varied, which has resulted in it gaining quite the reputation as a backdrop for world-class movies and TV shows. Andalucía was the filming location as 1,336 TV shows and films across 2016.

With this growth came a number of benefits to the region, as the official data from the tourism board of Andalucía shows the economy was boosted by €118 in 2016 thanks to all the TV and film shooting. Some 15,500 jobs – most of which were temporary – were also created.
