When carrying out any audiovisual project, the area in which the shooting takes place is essential. In order to do this, a very detailed search must be made for different places to be able to choose from later, that best adapt to the characteristics needed for the recording.
If you are embarking on a project of this kind and you are desperately looking for places to record a scene in Madrid, here are several ideas. At Perfect Venue we have compiled a list of places that can help if you are immersed in any type of recording:
Palacio Aldovea
This Palace is located in San Fernando de Henares, only 25 km from the center of the capital. The building is more than 2,000m² and has several gardens with capacity for more than 1,000 people, so it is the perfect place for recordings in which you want to host a large number of people.
Initially, during the 11th and 12th centuries, the Aldovea Palace was a Medieval castle that was used as a fortress. A feature that makes this building an ideal space for war or military shootings.
Castillo de Viñuelas
This castle, built between the 17th and 18th centuries, with four crenellated towers in each corner and an ornamental facade, located very close to Madrid, could also be a great idea.
The Castle of Viñuelas is located in the protected natural area of Soto de Viñuelas and has two great settings: The Pavilion of Fuente Tena and El Pavilion of Caza. The second one stands out for its rustic style, while the first one has unbeatable lighting, a greenhouse and an auditorium for more than 200 people.
