Recordings that do not require filming permits

In streets, squares and municipal environments:

For filming without occupation of public roads, i.e., in the case of filming with a hand-held camera or tripod, the crew consists of only a few people, and the filming does not hinder the transit of vehicles and/or pedestrians in public spaces.

However, the dates and places of filming must be reported to the Dénia Film Office (form that appears in Services offered by the Dénia Film Office) and a copy of the civil liability insurance must be provided, in order to inform the Local Police and avoid possible problems during filming.

For spaces that also affect other organizations, you should contact them to inform them and see their characteristics and possible conditions.
