In this post, we are going to speak about Netflix series filmed in the Canary Islands. But, before we start… Do you remember what movie rental was like? A few years back, one could become member of the nearest video-rental shop where you could find movies on DVD, Blue-Ray and even VHS format. They were classified in different categories and they even had a little sign that said \u201crented\u201d, and that meant you had to wait for the movie to be returned to be able to watch it. Too much paperwork, right?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The technological progress has completely changed our way of consuming audio-visual content. In the age of\u00a0<\/span>streaming<\/span><\/i>, platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ or HBO have become the new \u201cvideo-rental shops\u201d you can access with just a \u201cclick\u201d of your preferred devise.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among all the options with high variety of quality content, Netflix is considered the number 1 platform with 183 million subscribers in the world, according to Forbes April 2020.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The success of the\u00a0<\/span>streaming giant<\/span><\/i>\u00a0is such, that it has been producing its own feature films. In recent occasions, Netflix has chosen the Canary Islands as location for some of its audio-visual shootings. In today\u2019s post<\/span>,<\/span> we show you some Netflix series filmed in the Canary Islands.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Witcher<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Witcher<\/span><\/i>\u00a0is a Netflix super-production released in 2019 which became the tv show with the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>most successful debut within its catalogue. This is an adaptation of the popular saga of fantasy<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>novels created byAndrzej<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Sapkowsk<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>starring\u00a0<\/span>the wizard\u00a0<\/span>Geralt<\/span>\u00a0of\u00a0<\/span>Rivia<\/span>\u00a0(Henry\u00a0<\/span>Cavill<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Superman<\/span><\/i>).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Witcher<\/em> is mentioned in this top of Netflix TV Shows filmed in Canary Islands because fany of the exterior scenes were filmed in the region, specifically in Gran <\/span>Canaria<\/span>, La<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Gomera, La Palma and Tenerife.\u00a0<\/span>In fact, only the first and third episodes do not contain scenes<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>filmed in the Archipelago. As for the rest, we can find locations from Gran\u00a0<\/span>Canaria<\/span>\u00a0such as the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>ravine of\u00a0<\/span>Fataga<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>Acusa<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Seca<\/span>\u00a0Caves, Roque\u00a0<\/span>Nublo<\/span>\u00a0or the impressive Dunes of Maspalomas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We can see the rest of the islands in the enchanted forest in which\u00a0<\/span>Ciri<\/span>, the young princess and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>her escape partner\u00a0<\/span>penetrates<\/span>. This magical space is a mix of images taken from different<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>places, such as La\u00a0<\/span>Zarza<\/span>\u00a0in Tenerife; El cedro in La Gomera; or La\u00a0<\/span>Galga<\/span>\u00a0and the incredible<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>forest with waterfalls of Los\u00a0<\/span>Tilos<\/span>\u00a0in La Palma.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, the\u00a0<\/span>Caingorn<\/span>\u00a0Mountains in which the hunting expedition takes place during<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the sixth episode, correspond to other locations in La Palma, such as\u00a0<\/span>Cumbrecita<\/span>, Llano del<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Jable<\/span>\u00a0and Roque de los Muchachos, which is also the highest peak of the island. Also, the\u00a0<\/span>Gors<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Velen<\/span>\u00a0beach which appears in the last episode\u00a0<\/span>is actually,\u00a0<\/span>Guayedra<\/span>\u00a0Beach, which is close to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the village and port of\u00a0<\/span>Agaete<\/span>\u00a0in Gran\u00a0<\/span>Canaria<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
