When people think of Europe’s most vibrant travel destinations, Spain almost always appears at the top of the list. This beautiful country is not only a favourite tourist destination for Indian travellers but is also a popular shooting location for Indian filmmakers. When we talk about films shot in Spain, the first movie that comes to mind is Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobara, directed by Zoya Akhtar. However, the fact is that many Indian films after ZNMD were shot in Spain, including Pathaan, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, War 2, and O Romeo. Apart from that, several South Indian films like Bharat Ane Nenu, Bharta Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi, and Rama Rao on Duty were also shot there. In addition, several popular web series such as Money Heist, The Crown, and Game of Thrones were filmed in multiple locations across Spain.
Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobara has completely changed the definition of travel among Indian tourists. After the release of ZNMD, there was a significant spike in Indian tourists visiting Spain. Many travellers wanted to attend La Tomatina, groove to Flamenco dance steps, and experience the thrilling Running of the Bulls, which are popular traditions celebrated in Spain.
A Bollywood-based travel shows, Bollylands.com, known for featuring shooting locations of Bollywood and Indian films, has recently travelled across different regions of Spain. During their journey, the team not only featured popular shooting locations but also discovered several unexplored places for filmmakers, which makes the show unique and ahead of its time.
In this season set in Spain, viewers will get to see some iconic locations from the regions of Valencia, Andalusia, and Castile and León. Along with that, the show will also highlight the food, culture, and traditions of these regions. Just like tourists started flooding Spain after the release of ZNMD, the makers of Bollylands.com believe that once again tourists and filmmakers will be inspired to visit Spain after watching this season. The team received immense support from the Tourism Department of Spain – Mumbai, as well as from the representatives of the respective regions during their stay in Spain.
