Barcelona is actually one of the most filmed destinations in the world thanks to its sunny weather, great lighting, and, of course, it\u2019s fascinating architecture. <u>Filming in Barcelona<\/u> is also relatively easy, with a range of permits on offer enabling filming at some of the city\u2019s most notable sights, including thoroughfares, municipal markets, cemeteries, and a number of parks, gardens, and beach locations.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-180592\" src=\"https:\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2018\/10\/vicky_cristina_barcelona_5083_1200x630-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Woody Allen\u2019s Vicky Cristina Barcelona showed off some spectacular Spanish properties (which left many viewers wanting to <u>buy a home in Spain<\/u>!), but it is, perhaps, most well known for the sightseeing scenes at Sagrada Familia and Casa Mila. These are two top <u>film locations in Barcelona<\/u>, and are very easy to visit during your trip. Sagrada Familia is famous for its unfinished facade, while Casa Mila is well worth visiting for its highly unusual blend of geometric design and asymmetrical twists: another Gaudi masterpiece!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-180593\" src=\"https:\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2018\/10\/CableCar2_Passenger.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"704\" height=\"384\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a lover of older cinema, you may be surprised by how much Catalonia has changed in recent years. The Passenger, a Jack Nicholson film released in 1975, shows a much darker side to Barcelona than we\u2019d see if we were to visit today. Gone is the unkempt, sparse, almost seedy Las Ramblas from the film, replaced with a much brighter, airier, and cosmopolitan street that\u2019s fast become one of the city\u2019s top places for shopping, eating, and drinking. Barcelona has evolved significantly within the past 30 years!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-180594\" src=\"https:\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2018\/10\/123999-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Recently, <u>filming in Barcelona<\/u> has enjoyed a new surge, and Catalonia has hit the headlines for featuring in what is arguably one of the hottest shows of the century: George R.R. Martin&#8217;s Games of Thrones. It comes as no surprise, really, as Catalonia is filled with historic castles, stunning nature, and cobbled medieval villages that look just like the fairytale kingdoms of Westeros. If you fancy laying your eyes on a Game of Thrones filming location, head to Girona, where the cast have been spotted hanging out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don\u2019t need to travel to Hollywood to see some famous TV and movie locations with your own eyes.
