The 4 Game of Thrones locations in Spain you should definitely visit

No matter if you are a great fan of the Game of Thrones series or not, these beautiful places are definitely worth taking look at!

Seville: Dorne and Dragonpit

Many fans of GoT still complain about the way the producers wrote the Dorne’s plot and how limited its role in the series was. However, even though some people may not like Ellaria Sand and her Sand Snakes, Dorne’s famous Water Gardens were one of the most beautiful spots in the entire series. The Water Gardens actually really exist and were not just a product of costly special effects. They are the Real Alcazar in Seville, a Muslim palace in the very centre of the city that contains some lovely examples of Moorish architecture surrounded by water fountains, palm and lemon trees and green hedgerows. No wonder the producers chose this architectural pearl to depict one of the most beautiful places in the Seven Kingdoms.

The Game of Thrones was back to Seville also during seasons 7 and 8. The Amphitheater of Italica is located in the north of the city (it is possible to reach it by bus) and appeared in the series as the Dragonpit, the place when Khaleesi and Cersei met for the first time and where the surviving lords of Westeros chose a new king in the very last episode of the series.

This is how the actual Dragonpit looks like (unfortunately, there are no badass walls at the edge of it).

Girona: the Sept of Baelor, Walk of Shame and Braavos

After Dubrovnik, Girona is probably the second most important filming location for King’s Landing. The most recognized place is definitely the stairs of Plaça de la Catedral where the famous “Walk of Shame” started, as well as various speeches of High Sparrow and king Tommen took place. Girona’s narrow streets have been also used for other scenes, such as the continuation of the Walk of Shame to the Red Keep.

The landscape of Bardenas Reales resembles a Western movie.
