On Location
Spanish regional cuisine — paella valenciana + jamón ibérico + Basque pintxos + Catalan crema catalana + gazpacho andaluz — under AESAN food-safety oversight, with Rioja + Ribera del Duero + Priorat + Albariño wine pairings and bilingual ES/Catalan/Basque/Galician menu cards
Here is how this works in practice. Production catering in Spain leans into one of Europe's most decorated regional culinary traditions. We set up menus that rotate through paella valenciana from the Albufera rice country, tapas and pintxos formats for late-load craft service. Jamón ibérico de bellota with Manchego and aged cheeses. Tortilla española and bocadillos for breakfast service. Gazpacho andaluz and salmorejo cordobés for hot-weather hydration days. Cocido madrileño and fabada asturiana for cold-weather Pyrenees and Picos de Europa schedules. Pulpo a feira and empanada gallega from Galicia. Suquet de peix from the Catalan coast.
Here is the short of it. And churros con chocolate plus crema catalana for craft. Wine pairings draw on Rioja and Ribera del Duero for tempranillo-led service, Priorat and Penedès for Catalonia-based shoots, Albariño from Rías Baixas for seafood menus. And Jerez for Andalucía wrap parties. Our preferred supplier roster covers Cinema Catering Madrid, Stúdio Cocina Barcelona, Andalucía Film Catering for Sevilla and Almería desert shoots. And Canary Catering Service for Tenerife and Fuerteventura long-stay productions.
Here is the breakdown. All caterers operate under AESAN (Agencia Española de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición) HACCP food-safety protocols with full traceability chain on jamón, seafood, and dairy sourcing. Critical for global crews and TV networks-mandated audit trails. Dietary lodging runs across vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher, gluten-free, lactose-intolerant, and individual allergen profiles with clearly labelled service lines in Spanish. English, and the relevant regional language. Menu cards ship bilingual ES/EN as standard, with Catalan service in Barcelona and the Costa Brava, Basque in Bilbao and San Sebastián. Galician in Santiago and the Rías Baixas.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. And Valencian for Comunidad Valenciana shoots. The linguistic specificity matters to local crew and to the autonomous-community film offices that hold our production permits. Summer 40°C+ heat protocols for Sevilla, Almería, and Madrid Jul-Aug schedules shift hot meals to early-morning and late-afternoon windows, with cold-press gazpacho, salmorejo. And fresh-fruit hydration stations running steady through midday breaks. Budget €18-€32 per person depending on regional sourcing and menu tier.
