Practical information

The Postiguet beach Footbridge is part of Alicante’s public road network, offering both a Mediterranean and avant-garde aesthetic. It is a pedestrian bridge that crosses Avenida de Jovellanos and leads directly to Paseo de Gómiz, which runs parallel to Postiguet Beach in the heart of the city, making it easily accessible for film crews.

Filming availability

As it is a public space, filming permits must be processed in advance through the Alicante Film Office.

Best days for filming

Weekdays, particularly early in the morning, are ideal due to lower visitor numbers and favorable natural light for daytime shots.

It is best to avoid weekends, the months of July and August due to high visitor influx, and the period between June 20 and 24, when Alicante’s main festival, Las Hogueras de San Juan, takes place.

Spring and autumn offer optimal weather conditions and lower visitor density.>/p>
