Castell d'Aro, Platja d'Aro i S'Agaró

Castell d'Aro, Platja d'Aro i S'Agaró is a municipality on the Costa Brava formed by the villages of Platja d’Aro, Castell d’Aro i S’Agaró, and is geographically situated just a few kilometres from the French border, Girona and Barcelona; with nearby transport connections (airports, high-speed train, motorways).

Its range of possibilities as a film set lies in the combination of cosmopolitanism, the seafront and the tourist services of Platja d’Aro; the medieval charm of historic Castell d’Aro - declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest; and the elegance of S'Agaró, an area where modernista architecture and nature come together in equilibrium, encircled by the ‘camí de ronda’, the coastal path that forms the promenade.

Thanks to this diversity, professionals can find various attractive elements for their productions: open air locations (small coves with rocks and pine trees close to the water, stone churches, shopping streets full of light and colour, a nature park for birdwatching, etc.), public facilities (sports facilities, gardens and green areas, etc.) and private areas (a water park, hotels, the marina, amusement parks etc.).

It has been the setting for historical films such as Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (with James Mason and Ava Gardner), Mr. Arkadin or Confidential Report (directed by Orson Welles), The Spanish Gardener (with Dirk Bogarde) or Suddenly, Last Summer (with Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift and Katherine Hepburn); contemporary films such as Nicholas and Alexandra (with Lawrence Olivier, Jack Hawkins and Michael Redgrave), or Valentino (with Rudolf Nureyev); and those of today such as The Sea Inside or Mar Adentro (Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2004) or The Promise (with Oscar Isaac and Christian Bale).
