Why Shoot in Seville? 5 Reasons International Producers Love It

05/02/2025

When international producers search for a reliable location in Europe, Seville keeps coming up — and with good reason. As a full-service production company based in Seville, we at KRTV Prod. have spent over a decade helping brands and agencies discover the potential of this city.

Here are 5 powerful reasons why Seville — and Andalusia — have become a creative playground for international production teams.

1. Over 300 Days of Sunlight

Forget weather anxiety. Seville offers bright, consistent light most of the year, allowing for longer shooting windows and efficient schedules. This is especially valuable for clients working under tight global calendars.

In our latest campaign for Barceló Hotels, we were able to shoot across four Andalusian cities within a single week thanks to the stable weather — something that would be almost impossible in Northern Europe.

2. Diverse, Cinematic Locations

Seville is one of those rare cities where you can find historical, natural, and modern architecture within walking distance. Whether you need a traditional Andalusian street, a sleek rooftop or a futuristic bridge, Seville delivers.

When we worked on a lifestyle shoot for Xiaomi Western Europe, we chose Seville precisely for its diversity. From narrow local streets to open, design-forward parks — all within 20 minutes of each other.

3. Lower Production Costs (with Premium Quality)

Southern Spain — and Seville in particular — is known for delivering high-end production value at a competitive price. From equipment rental to crew hiring and logistics, the cost-effectiveness allows you to invest more in creativity and less in overhead.

Compared to shoots we’ve coordinated for European agencies in cities like Paris or Berlin, production in Seville consistently comes out 20-30% more efficient without sacrificing visual quality.

4. Experienced, Bilingual Local Crews

Working in a foreign country can be daunting — unless your local crew is used to working with international teams. At KRTV Prod., we work with DOPs, art directors, gaffers, stylists and drone operators who are not only technically skilled, but also fluent in English (and other languages).

This was key for our collaboration with Real Betis, where international sponsor brands like BP and Trainline needed seamless communication and rapid turnaround for digital assets.

5. A City that Feels Like a Set

Seville is visually rich, culturally vibrant, and emotionally warm. The creative atmosphere here is contagious — and that translates to better energy on set. It’s a place where creativity flows naturally.

For our campaign with Puerto de Indias, we took advantage of Seville’s character to tell an authentic, stylish brand story — entirely rooted in the city’s rhythm.
