The Game of Thrones production is gearing up to film material in Spain, specifically on several beaches in the Basque country, and the actors are starting to roll in. First, Peter Dinklage was seen arriving in an area…
…and then El Correo posted a picture of him on Muriola Beach in the town of Barrika—one of those beach locations—talking to crew members.
According to rumor (and common sense, really), the beach locations will involve Daenerys and her entourage, so it makes sense that Dinklage would be around. However, El Correo has some other news that’s more surprising. Let’s talk about it beneath this SPOILER WARNING.
According to El Correo, Dinklage wasn’t just chatting with random crew members. He was also talking with Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth).
While it’s possible that Dinklage and Cunninham are filming different scenes in the same area, it’s unlikely. There are only so many things you can use a beach for. More likely, the two will meet in Season 7. This lines up with recent reports that members from Team Jon Snow may visit members of Team Daenerys at her new home base on Dragonstone.
I wonder what Tyrion and Davos will make of each other. They’re both reasonable men who work best in an advisory capacity, but we shouldn’t forget that Tyrion did decimate Stannis’ fleet during the Battle of the Blackwater, stranding Davos on a lonely island in Blackwater Bay and killing his son. You don’t live through this…
…and just forget it.
It looks like the production will use drones during filming at Muriola Beach. Shooting is scheduled for October 26 and 27.
We’ll be watching the beaches at Zumaia, Barrika, and Bermeo closely over the next couple of weeks. There should be plenty going on.
