Westeros Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 As brought to our attention by Spanish fansite Los Siete Reinos, at least two new locations in Spain are lining up for filming in season 6, which starts filming this July but the Spanish segment appears set for September and October. According to Barcelonan paper La Vanguardia, HBO has apparently confirmed that the Catalonian city of Girona will be used in filming—its famous cathedral being cited as one location of particular interest—as well as the Valencian medieval town of Peñsicola which is known for retaining many medieval and Renaissance buildings and structures. James Hibberd of EW adds that other locations may be used in Spain, though those have as yet to be confirmed (in particular, James Hibberd notes that there’s no word whether Seville, the main site for filming Dornish scenes, has not been confirmed as a filming location at this time).Both Los Siete Reinos and La Vanguardia speculate that Girona would serve very well for Oldtown and the Citadel, citing the narrow streets of the Jewish quarter, the edifice of the cathedral, and so on. Peñsicola is more of a mystery, although Spanish fans are tentatively suggesting it could serve for Casterly Rock. In support of this, note that the Wikipedia article notes that Peñsicola is sometimes known as the “Gibraltar of Valencia”, thanks to being a prominent fortified peninsula, and George R.R. Martin has often likened Casterly Rock to the actual Gibraltar, while at the same time he has noted that Casterly Rock will appear in future A Song of Ice and Fire novels. It’s certainly as good a guess as any.Visit the Site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Cold Bastard Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Please be Casterly Rock and other Westeros locations, and not Dorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meera of Tarth Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Girona should be Oldtown...a certain character should begin his training.....As the nights mists burned away, Oldtown took form around him, emerging ghostlike from the predawn gloom. Pate had never seen Kings Landing, but he knew it was a daub-and-wattle city, a sprawl of mud streets, thatched roofs, and wooden hovels. Oldtown was built in stone, and all its streets were cobbled, down to the meanest alley. The city was never more beautiful than at break of day. http://www.google.es/imgres?imgurl=http://www.pedresdegirona.com/Imatges5/barri_vell_nit_41.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.pedresdegirona.com/barri_vell_nit_1.htm&h=500&w=667&tbnid=cGJf4YXpBg6tZM:&zoom=1&docid=CHcsnVG6Um0mPM&ei=WxtyVb-wPMHEUsm-gcAG&tbm=isch&ved=0CCQQMygIMAghttps://winteriscoming.net/2015/06/05/more-details-from-spain-for-game-of-thrones-season-6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofless Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Great news if it means that they are not going to omit Oldtown from the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beorn Snow Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Great news if it means that they are not going to omit Oldtown from the show. Couldn´t agree more. Also good location for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0LordCommanderSnow0 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Definitely thought for the last while that Oldtown was cut. Great news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Tyrion I Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Casterly Rock and the Citadel would be awesome :D! :agree: You read my mind there! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeping Sore Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Given Myrcella's murder to end S5, I feel sure we'll get at least some Dorne next year, for better or for worse. Most likely for worse, but at least there's Siddig as Doran. And those breasteses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Dies in Season 1 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 First, Dorne is part of Westeros! Why does everybody keep acting like its not. Second, I would think they would cut Oldtown, Casterly Rock, Kings Landing, and maybe Danny in order to include more of that sweet Sandsnake action! :bang: Seriously, I would think Oldtown and the Citadel are the most likely locations. To bad they skipped all the adventures Sam had on the way there in favor of him warp-driving there unseen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stannis' shadow babies Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 ...but please, no more Sand Fakes :ack: Yup. Oberyn had eight daughters, right?. They can kill off these three and try again with the five remaining. Girona is perfect for Old Town! Almeria in Spain is rumoured to be a possibility, nothing officially confirmed yet.

Stannis' shadow babies Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Casting for extras in Girona is apparently taking place next week. They're looking for 'slender, in good shape' males and females with long hair ('no highlights'), from all ages and ethnicities. They have to go wearing shorts and tshirts so they can 'see their arms and legs'. Shooting in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_queen_of_tulips Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hmmm.... it could be Casterly Rock and the Citadel. I hope we get them!! I just pray to the Gods that it's not Dorne. The show really fucked up Dorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stannis' shadow babies Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Another two places in Spain confirmed: Tudela (north), they're looking for 'men in good shape', who should be aware that they may need to let their facial hair grow', 5'7 minimum height for men. Also women, 5'6" minimum height. Dark hair. Sounds like they're looking for Dothrakis...They're also going to shoot in Almeria (south). This could be Dorne.

AryaNymeriaVisenya Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Going to Oldtown you would think that we were due to see the Hightower. Can't see any real life locations that could even fit the base right? Unless they skip the black stone and use one of these towers and add a CGI tower.
