The realistic breakdown:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Seville is the easy one:<\/strong> Alc\u00e1zar, Atarazanas and It\u00e1lica are all within a day\u2019s journey, and Osuna is an hour\u2019s drive away via the A-92.<\/li>\n<li><strong>C\u00f3rdoba, today:<\/strong> the historic centre and the Roman Bridge, plus Almod\u00f3var, 25 km away.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Almer\u00eda requires a separate journey:<\/strong> The Alcazaba is in the capital, but Mesa Rold\u00e1n and Sorbas are spread out, so you\u2019ll need a car and several days.<\/li>\n<li><strong>La Calahorra, by the way:<\/strong> It\u2019s an hour and a half from Granada, heading towards Almer\u00eda, so it makes sense to combine it with a trip to that province.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>If you only have one day<\/strong>, the answer is Seville: it is home to four such sites, and the Alc\u00e1zar is the most recognisable in the whole of Spain.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Excursions from Malaga<\/h2>\n<p>We are a local operator based in M\u00e1laga with over 50 years\u2019 experience organising day trips around Andalusia. Seville and C\u00f3rdoba \u2013 the two provinces with the most easily accessible destinations \u2013 can be visited on day trips from M\u00e1laga and the Costa del Sol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>To prepare for the visit, you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/lugares-imprescindibles-de-sevilla\/\">Seville\u2019s must-sees<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/que-ver-en-andalucia-12-experiencias-inolvidables-en-el-sur-de-espana\/\">What to see in Andalusia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n<h3>Where was *Game of Thrones* filmed in Andalusia?<\/h3>\n<p>In three provinces. In Seville, the Real Alc\u00e1zar was Dorne, the Reales Atarazanas were the crypts of the Red Keep, Italica was the Well of Dragons, and the Osuna bullring was the Daznak Pit in Meereen. In C\u00f3rdoba, the Roman Bridge served as the Long Bridge of Volantis, whilst Almod\u00f3var del R\u00edo Castle stood in for Highgarden and Casterly Rock. In Almer\u00eda, the Mesa Rold\u00e1n Tower and the Sorbas quarries stood in for Meereen, whilst the Alcazaba of Almer\u00eda stood in for Dorne.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Where in Andalusia was *House of the Dragon* filmed?<\/h3>\n<p>At La Calahorra Castle, in the Guadix region, in the province of Granada. It stands in for Pentos Castle, one of the Free Cities, in episode 6 of the first series. Scenes featuring King Viserys\u2019s walk with Laena Velaryon and a conversation between Laena and her daughter Rhaena were filmed there. Filming took place in October 2021.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Which Game of Thrones filming location is the best to visit?<\/h3>\n<p>Almod\u00f3var del R\u00edo Castle, in C\u00f3rdoba. It is open every day; admission costs 11 euros and there are signs and references to the film shoot scattered throughout the grounds, as well as dramatised guided tours. There is free parking at the bottom and an optional shuttle bus for 2 euros, which saves you from having to walk uphill. The Real Alc\u00e1zar in Seville is the most famous, but it\u2019s best to book in advance.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Can you visit La Calahorra Castle?<\/h3>\n<p>There are some restrictions. It is privately owned and visiting hours are very limited, with no regular opening times, so it is advisable to check whether it is open before setting off. It is situated in the Guadix region, an hour and a half from the city of Granada in the direction of Almer\u00eda, so it makes sense to combine a visit with a trip to that province.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What was filmed at the Osuna bullring?<\/h3>\n<p>The Daznak Pit, the Meereen fighting pit, in series 5. It is one of the most expensive sequences in the series: the attack by the Sons of the Harpy on Daenerys and the moment when she flies for the first time on the back of Drogon. The Osuna Museum also has a room dedicated to the series, called \u00abIce and Fire\u00bb, featuring costumes and props from the shoot.<\/p>\n\n<h3>How many locations did Almod\u00f3var Castle stand in for?<\/h3>\n<p>Two. The fortress served as Highgarden, the seat of House Tyrell, and its dungeons as Casterly Rock, that of the Lannisters. Both appear in series 7, and it was there that Olenna Tyrell\u2019s death was filmed; after drinking the poisoned wine, she confesses to Jaime Lannister that it was she who killed Joffrey at the Purple Wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/game-of-thrones-scenarios-andalucia\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Game of Thrones Tour in Andalusia\"}]},{\"@type\":\"ItemList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/game-of-thrones-scenarios-andalucia\/#itemlist\",\"name\":\"Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon filming locations in Andalusia\",\"itemListOrder\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ItemListOrderAscending\",\"numberOfItems\":9,\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"item\":{\"@type\":\"TouristAttraction\",\"name\":\"Royal Alcazar of Seville\",\"description\":\"The Water Gardens of Dorne, Series 5\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"addressLocality\":\"Sevilla\",\"addressRegion\":\"Sevilla\",\"addressCountry\":\"ES\"}}},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"item\":{\"@type\":\"TouristAttraction\",\"name\":\"Royal Shipyards of Seville\",\"description\":\"The Crypts of the Red Keep, Seasons 7 and 8\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"addressLocality\":\"Sevilla\",\"addressRegion\":\"Sevilla\",\"addressCountry\":\"ES\"}}},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"item\":{\"@type\":\"TouristAttraction\",\"name\":\"Archaeological Site of Italica\",\"description\":\"The Well of Dragons, Seasons 7 and 8\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"addressLocality\":\"Santiponce\",\"addressRegion\":\"Sevilla\",\"addressCountry\":\"ES\"}}},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":4,\"item\":{\"@type\":\"TouristAttraction\",\"name\":\"Osuna Bullring\",\"description\":\"The Daznak Pit in Meereen, Series 5\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"addressLocality\":\"Osuna\",\"addressRegion\":\"Sevilla\",\"addressCountry\":\"ES\"}}},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":5,\"item\":{\"@type\":\"TouristAttraction\",\"name\":\"Roman Bridge of Cordoba\",\"description\":\"The Long Bridge of Volantis, Season 5\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"addressLocality\":\"C\u00f3rdoba\",\"addressRegion\":\"C\u00f3rdoba\",\"addressCountry\":\"ES\"}}},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":6,\"item\":{\"@type\":\"TouristAttraction\",\"name\":\"Castle of Almod\u00f3var del R\u00edo\",\"description\":\"Highgarden and Casterly Rock, Series 7\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"addressLocality\":\"Almod\u00f3var del R\u00edo\",\"addressRegion\":\"C\u00f3rdoba\",\"addressCountry\":\"ES\"}}},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":7,\"item\":{\"@type\":\"TouristAttraction\",\"name\":\"Mesa Rold\u00e1n Tower\",\"description\":\"Exterior shots of Meereen\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"addressLocality\":\"Carboneras\",\"addressRegion\":\"Almer\u00eda\",\"addressCountry\":\"ES\"}}},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":8,\"item\":{\"@type\":\"TouristAttraction\",\"name\":\"Alcazaba of Almeria\",\"description\":\"The Water Gardens of Dorne, Series 6\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"addressLocality\":\"Almer\u00eda\",\"addressRegion\":\"Almer\u00eda\",\"addressCountry\":\"ES\"}}},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":9,\"item\":{\"@type\":\"TouristAttraction\",\"name\":\"La Calahorra Castle\",\"description\":\"Pentos Castle in *House of the Dragon*\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"addressLocality\":\"La Calahorra\",\"addressRegion\":\"Granada\",\"addressCountry\":\"ES\"}}}]},{\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/game-of-thrones-scenarios-andalucia\/#faq\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Where was *Game of Thrones* filmed in Andalusia?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"In three provinces.
