Introduction to Film Production in Spain
Professional fixer services provide essential local knowledge and operational support that bridges the gap between international productions and local environments, ensuring smooth logistics, regulatory compliance, and cultural navigation throughout the filming process. As a company, we offer full production services, including comprehensive management of logistics, crew, and equipment.
Our experienced fixers bring deep understanding of local customs, government procedures, business practices, and logistical networks that enable foreign productions to operate efficiently while maintaining positive relationships with local communities, authorities, and service providers. They assist with creating and managing local production budgets and schedules, negotiating with local suppliers to secure competitive rates.
Spain delivers proven film production capabilities that combine established cinematic infrastructure with operational efficiency. The country provides diverse location assets—from major urban centers to rural territories and coastal regions—that serve the specific requirements of TV series, commercial productions, and feature films.

Frequently Asked Questions
What permits are needed for filming in Spain?
Municipal filming permits are required in each city — Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville have dedicated film offices. Heritage sites like the Alhambra and Sagrada Família need separate cultural authority approval. National parks require environmental ministry permits. Our fixers coordinate across municipal, regional, and national authorities for your complete permit package.
How do Spain's national and regional incentives work?
ICAA administers a national tax incentive for international productions. The Canary Islands offer an enhanced incentive of up to 50% due to their special fiscal zone. Navarra, the Basque Country, and other regions have their own additional programmes. Our fixers help identify which national and regional incentives apply and assist with all applications.
How do you handle Spain's regional language requirements?
Our fixers in Catalonia speak Catalan, those in the Basque Country understand Basque protocols, and Galician-region fixers navigate local language requirements. This is important for communicating with regional authorities and community organisations who may prefer to operate in their local language alongside Castilian Spanish.
What does a typical fixer handle on a Spanish production?
Our Spanish fixers arrange municipal filming permits, coordinate with Policía Local and Guardia Civil for traffic management, manage ICAA and regional incentive applications, source experienced local crew and equipment, handle Schengen visa support for non-EU crew, arrange logistics for island and remote location shoots, and provide on-set coordination across all regions.
