A Conversation for Great Film Locations
Isla de La Palma
Brian - UK, NL, La Palma Started conversation Sep 17, 2002
Isla de La Palma, Canary Islands has been used several times by the BBC for documentaries including:
Earth Story (1998)
Land of the Giant Dinosaurs (2002)
Walking with Dinosaurs (2002)
Why La Palma? because of the very wide range of locations in a small area. Volcanoes, lava flows, mountains (2426 meters), deep gorges, tropical rainforest, rugged coastline, black sand beaches, pine and chestnut forests, tree-heather up to 4 meters high and the biggest erosion crater in the world. Oh yes, and not many tourists.
I live on the island and a friend was the local 'fixer' for the film crews.
