Spain's Colorful Diversity

GENERAL INFORMATION

Galicia, a region located in North-western Spain, has a population of 2.7 million and an autonomous government, XUNTA DE GALICIA, with specific competencies in the audiovisual sector.

Thanks to its magnificent countryside and the competence of its professionals, Galicia was the location chosen for large-scale international co-productions and major successes in Spanish film-making.

Added to this is the diversity of formats and numerous TV series and content derived from Galician Television, with excellent results both in fiction as well as in documentary genres.

Galicia is in a favourable position for receiving future investment, as well as becoming a pace setter in the audiovisual sector. This is due not only to the entrepreneurialism of its corporate infrastructure, but also to its solid roster of producers, screenwriters, technicians and actors.

But our heritage does not end there: we possess magnificent natural resources, from mountains to hundreds of kilometres of coastline, and a wealth of outstanding cultural and architectural treasures.

All this drives us to seek new opportunities and challenges throughout the world, new screens for our productions and new paths to open.

OUR TAX INCENTIVES

Galicia, in addition to the 30% tax rebate in Spain for international co-productions (www.shootinginspain.info/en/tax-incentives-1), offers an automatic grant to shoot fiction and animation projects in the region.
