Santa Cruz Film Office

The island’s capital is a cosmopolitan and fascinating city. Parks like García Sanabria, emblematic buildings in a modern architectural style, particularly the Adán Martín Tenerife Auditorium and the Tenerife Arts Space, colonial backstreets and popular neighbourhoods provide a diversity of filming locations. In turn, it has white sandy beaches with palm trees like Las Teresitas and the unique Benijo beach with its black sand and rocks. 

Santa Cruz de Tenerife has been the backdrop for filming, such as Jason Bourne (feature film, 2015); Rambo: Last Blood (feature film, 2018) and The Head 2 (HBO series), among others.  

The film office will advise you on the procedure to apply for filming permits on public roads in its municipality. To this end, it is advisable to contact them before applying for any permit. Filming is free of charge, except for such services as parking reservations, a police presence and others. As a general rule, you need to download the permit application, present it for registration at the electronic office as a general procedure and address it to the City Council of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
