After locations in southern Spain - including the Alcazar of Seville and the Roman bridge of Córdoba - appeared in series five, Game of Thrones has returned to Spain for another series, spending much of the autumn shooting in various locations around the country.
After the two-week shoot in Girona, production will move to the northern region of Navarre before decamping to the coastal areas of Peniscola in the east and Almería in the south during October.
Locations to be used in the sixth series include the Castle of Zafra in Guadalajara and the Alcazaba walled fortification in Almería.
Adapted from the hugely popular novels of George R. R. Martin the Games of Thrones television series has already proved a boon for Spanish tourism, attracting fans to visit location sites from Series five in and around Seville.
A video showing British actress Faye Marsay - who plays the Waif - filming in Girona has been uploaded to YouTube, showing dozens of extras lining the Calle de la Claveria in the heart of the city's old quarter.
Thankyou to all the fans who waited outside the cathedral where we were shooting today and yesterday! You guys are the best. #girona X
