Pluribus Locations in Gran Canaria and La Palma Bring Central America to Life
The new series Pluribus is setting a new standard in television, not only for its innovative storytelling but also for its stunning visual approach. A key part of its impact comes from the filming locations in the Canary Islands, a region increasingly recognized as one of the most versatile audiovisual destinations in the world. In this production, Gran Canaria and La Palma were chosen to recreate Central American landscapes, showcasing the archipelago’s unmatched potential as an international filming hub. At Locationow, we celebrate how these locations highlight the Canary Islands as a premium natural filming platform.
In Gran Canaria, Pluribus made use of several historic neighborhoods and natural areas in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria to convincingly replicate Central American urban environments. Neighborhoods such as La Laja, San Francisco, San Roque, El Risco de San Nicolás, and San Juan offered narrow streets, traditional architecture, and strong visual identity, perfect for narrative-driven scenes. Additionally, the Barranco de Guiniguada provided natural areas that enhanced the sense of a Latin American setting without leaving the island.
On La Palma, the production explored lush, tropical-like landscapes. Locations such as El Cubo de La Galga and the Los Tilos forest and waterfall were used to simulate dense, verdant environments, while the streets of Tazacorte recreated small urban centers with remarkable authenticity.
At Locationow, we see Pluribus as a clear example of how carefully selected filming locations in the Canary Islandscan maximize scenic diversity, optimize production resources, and elevate the visual quality of a project. Gran Canaria and La Palma continue to prove themselves as strategic destinations for international productions seeking versatility, authenticity, and breathtaking settings.
