Adrian Gera of Nostromo Pictures, president of Spain’s International Shoot Sector Trade Association Profilm, said: “Improving tax-exempt conditions will keep Spain competitive as a destination for international positions.”

Spain has gained greater global visibility since filming “Game of Thrones” there from 2014-15-18, with a strong track record of serving international titles.
The international reach of Spanish art has gained a new momentum in recent times through local TV dramatic seriousness, led by the Netflix global hit series “Money Hist” and “Elite”.

Last year Netflix opened the first European production center at the Sequoia studio in the village of Tres Cantos, near Madrid, and Spanish infrastructure continues to evolve.

Built – literally – around Sequoia Studios, Madrid Content City construction, scheduled to be completed by September 2021, includes 10 soundstages and aims to respond to the huge demand of the streaming age for production facilities.

More muscular tax breaks will allow production to run across Spain, as the big shoots are likely to be the number of countries that will contract to reduce Cavid-19 exposure.
