When searching for video production locations in continental Europe, it makes sense to look at bustling capital cities — these locations have ample transportation access and come with centuries of history and different types of unique scenes to use as backdrops. In Madrid, you can glimpse a combination of medieval plazas and cutting-edge postmodern architecture, all in a dry climate that helps you film during more months of the year.
Madrid has become a production hub for the Spanish film industry, along with international companies filming commercials and promotional videos. You can join these producers and brands, capturing iconic views such as the ornate Gran Vía, the old-world Plaza de la Villa and the verdant Madrid Río Park. Some sights in the city combine centuries-old and modern features, such as the Reina Sofía Museum.
Filming in Madrid is made easier by the weather. The summers tend to get very hot, while even in the spring and autumn, temperatures should support outdoor filming. Since the Spanish capital gets comparatively little precipitation, you may not have to take many days off for rain and even in the coldest months of the year, the average temperature remains above freezing.
This inspiring city is ready to become the home for your next video production — especially if you have the support of Crews Control’s experts.

What makes Madrid a unique filming location within Spain?
Madrid isn’t just a warm place to film with impressive historical architecture. The city’s film infrastructure, local government and more will all affect your ability to get the shots you’re looking for, on schedule and under budget. When you’re working with production service experts from Crews Control, you’ll quickly pick up essential knowledge about filming in the city, such as:
- How to apply for a filming permit: There are several types of permit associated with filming in Madrid, managed by a variety of local government bodies and collected by the Madrid Film Office. Municipal markets are overseen by their own trade associations, for example, while museums are managed by the City Council and major sports and cultural sites are overseen by Destino Madrid.
- When and how to take public transit: If you’re running a small video shoot that doesn’t require its own van, you can reach numerous parts of Madrid by taking public transportation. The city’s subway boasts more than 300 stations and 15 lines. These trains are augmented by light rail, bus and more.
- Where to find surprising filming locations: Once your production has captured footage of the most iconic Madrid plazas and avenues, you can find interesting backdrops and B-roll spots that have their own unique flavor. For example, the Temple of Debod is an authentic second-century-BCE Egyptian temple moved to Spain during the construction of the Aswan Dam, while Capricho Park is a picturesque but somewhat hidden spot opened in 1784.
- Which indoor studios are available: Madrid isn’t just a valuable spot for outdoor filming — the city is also home to several professional production facilities. Whether you’re looking for editing, audio recording, post production or soundstage filming, these spaces are ready to go.
In partnership with your Crews Control team, you can turn Madrid into a perfect location for your corporate video needs. After wrapping up one successful video shoot in the Spanish capital, you’ll be eager to come back for many more.

Prepared, Creative, Professional and on the 10 scale an 11
I’ve been producing and directing videos for Broadcast (NBC/ABC/CNN/C-SPAN) and Corporate for over 30 years – and Matthew and Dan were one of the best crews I have EVER worked with.
Thanks
Dan
The footage was well done.
Just got out of the edit. Tim did a great job. Considering the talent we gave him to work with, I would go as far as to say he’s a bit of a magician.
Thanks for the help!
Jim
Thanks for the great shoot yesterday.
Everything was great and I wanted to let you know that our Executive Producer said the footage we got from the different regions was the best footage he had ever seen come from remote crews that we didn’t have control over. That is a great compliment coming from him.
I appreciate all your help and look forward to working with you again!
