Spain, Scotland

We have yet to see the scenes shot in Spain for Season Six. But while visiting Costa Brava last year at this time, the announcement was made that Game of Thrones would be filming in this part of the world. I can understand why, Catalunya is filled with medieval villages, castles and stunning nature. Game of Thrones will fit in perfectly and seamlessly here.

We have heard that filming is taking place all over the country at locations like Gerona, Valencia, Alhamila mountains, Barcelona, Seville, and Andalusia. It is just a matter of time before the Game of Thrones tours start gearing up all around Spain.

 

Doune Castle (Winterfell)

This medieval stronghold in Doune near Stirling was originally built in the thirteenth century and has survived quite unchanged since the fourteenth century, an impressive strategic site at the crossroads of Scotland. Doune Castle can be seen in several films and series such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and the classic adaptation of Ivanhoewith Elizabeth Taylor, as well as the very first appearance of Winterfell in the pilot episode for Game of Thrones.
