Drone filming in Girona and on the Costa Brava
Coves, stone villages, Empordà farmhouses and a monumental city: a region made for aerial footage.
The province of Girona packs almost every setting a shoot could need into a few kilometres: the rugged coastline of the Costa Brava, the medieval villages of the Empordà, Girona's old town, the volcanoes of La Garrotxa and the Pyrenees. For drone filming in Girona we travel up from Barcelona with all our equipment.
It is a destination closely tied to tourism, hospitality and weddings, and that is where aerial footage sells: it shows the cove five minutes from the hotel, the masia's garden or the terrace facing the sea. With a stabilized drone we film panoramas and aerial photos, and with FPV continuous fly-throughs that take the viewer from the beach to the room.
Tourism, hotels and campsites
For hotels, campsites, restaurants and activity companies on the Costa Brava we produce short pieces for websites, social media and booking platforms. An FPV shot that comes in from the sea, flies over the pool and ends at reception explains the place in fifteen seconds. We also shoot aerial photos for brochures and booking listings. It is best to film outside peak season or early in the morning, when beaches and terraces are empty and distances from bystanders are easier to keep.
Weddings in the Empordà and by the sea
Empordà farmhouses and seafront venues are popular wedding settings, often with guests travelling from abroad. The drone adds the shot that places the celebration: the estate among the fields, the ceremony with the Mediterranean behind, the exit at sunset. For beachfront weddings we check the rules for that stretch of coast and the bathing areas beforehand. More on our wedding drone videography page.
Airspace and protected areas in Girona
The area around Girona-Costa Brava airport has controlled airspace, and the coast includes several protected natural areas, such as Cap de Creus, the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà and the Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter park, where flights may be restricted or need the park authority's approval, mainly to protect wildlife. We check each location on ENAIRE's UAS geographical zones map and handle the required paperwork as an AESA-registered operator.
How we organise a shoot outside Barcelona
We plan full days to make the most of the trip: if a hotel needs both video and aerial photos, both are done on the same day with FPV and stabilized drones. We watch the wind forecast, which in the Empordà can change a lot from one day to the next with the tramontana, and agree on a backup date when the shot depends on the weather. Footage is reviewed on site before we pack up.

Will you travel to the Costa Brava for a single day?
Yes. We drive up from Barcelona and plan the day to get the most out of it. Travel is included in the quote depending on the location.
Can you fly a drone on the beach?
It depends on the stretch of coast, the season and how busy it is. In summer, with crowded beaches, distances from people make it difficult; out of season or early in the morning it is usually feasible. We check each location in advance.
What about Cap de Creus or the Medes Islands?
They are protected natural areas and flights may be restricted or require the park authority's approval. We check well in advance and tell you whether it is possible before you book.
What happens if the tramontana blows on shoot day?
In strong wind we do not fly, for safety and because the footage would not be stable. For weather-dependent shoots we agree on a backup date beforehand.
