The province
Located in the north of Spain, Huesca is an amazing land. It offers a wide range of outstanding locations for photography, film or TV production.
Landscape
Huesca's rich variety of landscapes takes us in no time to inspiring atmospheres: desert lands that reminds us of westerns and road movies, green seas of spring weath animated by the wind for the calm, emotional moment of the story, or snowy summits in high mountain zones, just to name a few examples. In fact, the Pyrenees are already an endless source of exceptional natural scenarios. Each season shows a different charm, always with an easy way to reach the right place. Your dreamed shot is surely waiting somewhere in Huesca.
Nature and farming have also helped generating unique green spaces. In the north, beech forest ligths in exquisite warm tones during autumn, while, in the south, olive trees and vineyards convey an everlasting mediterranean feeling. Almond trees blossom in white announcing spectacularly the arrival of springtime.
Architecture
The rich cultural and historical legacy of Huesca offers unique sites, from medieval castles, to imperial military fortresses, hermitages, monasteries or cathedrals creating a visual narration of other times.
Its geographical diversity has generated some interesting architectural and countryside pictures in many different styles. Villages are adapted to their surroundings, blending gracefully with the landscape as they share its same materials and colors. Black slate roofs and grey stone walls in mountain zones make contrast with how houses are built in the plains, using sandstone and arabic tiles.
