Game of Thrones Loads In At the Castillo de Almodóvar

While all eyes are trained on the majority of the cast in Seville, the Game of Thrones production quietly loads in at the Castillo de Almodóvar. According to Diario Cordoba, the production arrived in the city at the end of Friday, and has spent the weekend invading the historical castle with set pieces and equipment to turn it into… well, somewhere in Westeros at any rate.

The security around the castle is tight, so those tourists hoping to get in head of the crowds haven’t been able to see much. Nor have the newspapers. One of the more frustrating aspects as well is the lack of knowing which actors are going to show up at this location. (Some believe the castle is standing in for Highgarden, but others are less certain.) With the area closed off from now through the 16th, the cast could turn up at any time.

With no confirmed date for actor arrival, nor who will be involved in filming, locals are merely stuck in “watch and wait” mode, while hearing about all the excitement only a few miles away in Seville. Note that the fact that the castle is closed from now until the 16th does not mean filming will take anywhere near that long.

The last time Game of Thrones moved into a historical castle of this nature, last year, to film Sam’s arrival home, the location was also closed off for a couple of weeks, but the actual filming of scenes (Sam’s arrival, the dinner scene and then him and Gilly stealing into the night), only took two days.

Hopefully the cast that does film here will be staying in the town at the foot of the castle, so that we can at least confirm if this is the home of the Tyrells or not.
