Tarragona is seeing a rise in international film and television productions, with more streets and locations across the area being used as backdrops for major streaming services. Local officials in Tarragona and Salou have confirmed a notable increase in requests for filming licences, according to the Diari de Tarragona.
Production companies for Netflix, Disney and Apple Corps are currently filming series and films in the area. Location scouts have chosen different points within the Tarragona demarcation for these international projects, which are expected to put the region in front of a global audience.
This activity is also being seen as a boost for Tarragona and nearby municipalities, as filming can raise the profile of local architecture, streets and coastal settings. It may also support tourism and local investment over time.
The trend fits a wider pattern across Catalonia, where a range of settings, from historic city centres to seaside towns, continues to attract audiovisual work. For readers following local coverage, see our news tag for more Catalonia-wide reporting.
Local councils are expected to keep handling permit requests as interest continues. The current wave of productions suggests Tarragona could remain a regular stop for international film and TV crews.
