Top 5 Filming Locations in the Canary Islands
Jameos del Agua
This cave formed out of a collapsed roof of a volcanic lava tube is part of a series of lava caves in Haría, Lanzarote. The landmark destination stands out as a culture and tourism destination created by highly respected artist, César Manrique. In addition to its natural beauty, the cave has a subterranean lake, a restaurant, and an auditorium deep inside. The unique geologic formations gives the cave an otherworldly appearance.
Gabinete Literario
Gabinete Literario, also known as the Literary Cabinet is an elegant 19th-century neoclassical, national monument with modernist decor. The interior is just as striking as the exterior; rooms lined with bookcases, stunning large rooms for events, and an atrium. The first few shots from Allied (2016) were filmed here.
Faro de Orchilla
Dubbed as “The End of the World’s Lighthouse”, this was believed to be the lighthouse situated at the end of the world. The lighthouse currently sits on the west end of the island, perched atop off a cliff with views of the sea. What makes this location special is the unobstructed views, best for incredible sunrise and sunset viewings.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a historic center filled with colonial-style architecture, Council Houses, the grandiosity of the Cathedral of Santa Ana, small chapels, and cobblestone streets that truly make this area perfect for scenic backdrops and wide shots.
Teror
Located in the northern part of the island, Teror is one of the oldest locations in Gran Canaria. As a historic venue, there are plenty of beautiful colonial-style houses with elegant balconies and exquisite metallurgy work. Venturing around, you’ll discover Teresa de Bolivar Square, boasting a fountain with colonial touches that mirror those found in Cartegena de Indias.
