‘Gangs of Galicia’ Shooting: If you have seen Gangs of Galicia, a trending Spanish crime-drama-based Netflix show whose story is taken from a true real-life incident. The story of the show revolves around Ana (Clara Lago), an attorney who moves to Galicia to know the reason behind her father’s mysterious murder and gets surrounded by the drug cartel and their hidden tales. Then, you might be wondering about the stunning locations in this show.
I truly believe that this show has delivered breathtaking visuals and a great narrative. In this show, Ana visits Madrid and Cambados, two genuine cities located in Spain.

These locations are more popular for their exotic and mouthwatering seafood than the drug cartel. Along with these two major locations, the film also covered shots in locations like Portugal, Gibraltar, Senegal, Cadiz, A Coruna, and Dakar. Let us explore these stunning locations one by one:

Cambados, Spain
This city is more famous for its wine festivals than the scenic locations it offers. Being the capital of Albarino wine, it hosts a wine festival annually which attracts huge tourists from different regions of the world. Along with the tour of wine cellars, this place also holds many remarkable spots to visit like the ruins of Santa Marina Dozo Church which has a marvelous structure without a roof.
