What to See in Segovia Province (Spain): Rural Destinations

DiscoverSpain · Aug 7, 2024

I am working on the video. I would like to know:

How long were you watching it before you got bored and stopped watching it?
Do you think the video could be improved in any way?
Would you remove anything from the video?

Thank you in advance!

Actually I watched the entire video. The scenery of rural areas especially the buildings was very new and interesting to me.

Very good and interesting. So nice for those of us on the other side of the world to see the "local color".

Glad to know you have watched the entire video!

I'm glad you found the rural scenery and buildings interesting. In the interior of Spain, small villages are very common, but unfortunately, few still maintain their traditional construction methods, using natural materials from the area. That is why there are black villages, red villages, yellow villages, ...

In the video, I've tried to showcase the most beautiful villages in the province of Segovia (only one of Spain's 52 provinces) focusing on those that preserve their traditional construction methods or have retained ancient buildings.

Thanks for sharing your feedback!

These are villages that have maintained traditional housing construction methods or have imposed regulations to preserve their traditional look. It’s a pity there aren’t more villages like this.

Thanks for your feedback! Were you able to watch the whole video without getting bored?"

It's easy to watch your videos and be captivated and stunned by the natural beauty of the countryside and the architecture, being immersed and enjoying. But, then, I have to consider the great amount of work that went into producing them - identifying the subjects, composing a cohesive story, traveling to the locations, flying and shooting the video, and finally editing.

My compliments, and my thanks to you for sharing these little visits to Spain.

Very nice video, a job very well done.

I'm just wondering how many authorities you had to contact asking for aerial photography permission?

Thank you very much. We're glad you enjoyed it.
As for permits, let's just say it was a wild ride! In general, we try to avoid the hassle/problem of getting permits, so there are some areas we can't capture with a drone and so there are only shots from the ground. But let's face it, dealing with permits in Spain can be a real roller coaster!

I know, It was easier for me to get an authorization from cartography and photography center of Air Force in Spain than Junta de Andalucia. To be safe, at least contact ministry of interior at least 5 days prior to your planned aerial videography date. Also, use this map to know the restrictions.

If you plan to visit Southern part, let me know.

Keep up the wonderful work.

All the best,

Yes, the situation in Spain is, in many cases, a bit chaotic, having to request authorisations from various agencies. It would be nice to have a single point for doing this.

I make sure I am up to date and comply with the regulations where I fly. Proof of this is that I have several posts, like this one, providing information about it.

Thanks!
