"On Spain's northern Atlantic coast lies Asturias—a region of remarkable cinematic diversity. Emerald mountains
sweep along the coastline before reaching deep into the interior, where a network of former mining sites and other
industrial territories provides rare, authentic underground locations ready to be transformed for the screen. Few
regions offer such a compelling contrast between spectacular natural scenery and industrial heritage.
Asturias is also home to two of Spain's most iconic works of contemporary architecture: Oscar Niemeyer's Cultural
Centre in Avilés and Santiago Calatrava's Congress Palace in Oviedo. Both are extraordinary filming locations that
seem to come alive on camera. Every line, every curve, every interior and exterior frame creates a striking visual
composition, offering filmmakers an endless variety of cinematic perspectives—as if these buildings
were designed with the silver screen in mind."
