Spain offers a wide range of breathtaking locations, from beautiful beaches to scenic mountains and vibrant cities. With its consistently great weather, it's the ideal destination for filming year-round. Let us help you find the perfect location to bring your vision to life.


















What types of locations can I find in Spain for shooting?
Spain offers an incredibly diverse range of locations: historic cities, coastal towns, modern architecture, rural villages, mountains, deserts, beaches, castles, vineyards, and even futuristic cityscapes. It’s like having multiple countries’ worth of visuals in one place — perfect for versatile storytelling.
How long does location scouting usually take in Spain?
It depends on the project’s scale and specificity. For standard commercial or photo shoots, initial scouting can take a few days. More complex shoots with multiple locations might require a week or more. ZERKOFILMS can speed up the process significantly.
Can I scout remotely before arriving in Spain?
Yes. ZERKOFILMS offer remote scouting options, including detailed location databases, photo references, drone footage, and virtual walkthroughs. This is especially helpful for narrowing down options before an in-person tech scout.
Do I need permits for all scouted locations?
In most cases, yes — especially for public or high-traffic areas like city centers, beaches, or government buildings. Once locations are confirmed, your production team will handle the permitting process, which can vary by region and municipality.
