international locations for production Dec 2014

There are many advantages in selecting Almeria for productions and events. On the one hand is the extraordinary weather - one-of-a-kind on the European continent. Autumn and spring are best defined by mild temperatures and beautiful light; in winter, it hardly ever rains and the thermometer doesn't drop below 15ºC; while in summer, despite it being high season for tourism, it is still easy to enjoy solitary places and unexploited scenery inland.

Another unique characteristic is Almeria's wide variety of landscapes. Thanks to a network of picturesque roads within a one-hour driving radius, everything from 2000-metre snowy peaks to unexploited beaches and coves, pine forests and olive groves, the famous Tabernas desert, urban locations with historic sites and buildings to actual Far West villages, is at hand.
