When international production teams think of filming in Spain, their minds often jump to the bustling streets of Barcelona, the Moorish architecture of Andalusia, or the rugged coastlines of the north. Yet nestled just 10 minutes from the charming town of Chinchon lies an area known locally as “Little Tuscany” – a filmmaker’s paradise waiting to be discovered.
A Landscape That Tells Stories
The area earns its nickname honestly. Rolling hills dotted with olive groves create a landscape that feels simultaneously Spanish and Italian, offering directors the versatility of multiple Mediterranean aesthetics in one location. At Valhalla Finca, our 8-hectare property captures the essence of this unique region, providing production teams with expansive outdoor spaces that can transform to suit nearly any vision.
The gentle slopes and wide horizons allow cinematographers to capture that golden Mediterranean light that filmmakers prize – the kind that bathes scenes in warm, natural illumination and extends into magical “golden hour” periods, particularly during summer months.
Weather You Can Count On
One of Spain’s most significant advantages for film production is its reliable climate. Chinchon enjoys approximately 300 days of sunshine annually, minimizing the weather-related delays that plague productions in less predictable regions. This consistent climate allows production teams to plan with confidence, knowing that schedule disruptions due to unexpected weather are rare.
Even in winter months, the region offers mild temperatures and clear skies, making Valhalla Finca a viable year-round filming location for productions seeking to escape harsher northern European or North American winters.
Accessibility Without Compromise
While the area feels worlds away from urban hustle, Valhalla Finca offers remarkable accessibility. Just 30 minutes from Madrid’s international airport and only 10 minutes from Chinchon’s historic town center, the location combines rural tranquility with logistical practicality.
This accessibility means production teams can easily welcome international talent, transport equipment, and manage the practical aspects of production without sacrificing the authentic rural Spanish setting they seek.
Beyond the Camera
What makes filming at Valhalla truly special extends beyond what appears in frame. The property’s heated swimming pool and jacuzzi provide welcome relaxation for cast and crew during breaks or at day’s end. The four guest bedrooms allow key team members to stay on location, maximizing productive hours and minimizing travel time.
Our connections with local caterers, transportation services, and accommodation providers ensure that the practical aspects of production run smoothly, allowing creative teams to focus on what matters most: bringing their vision to life in one of Spain’s most picturesque and versatile landscapes.
