Shoot decision
Depends on setup
Street photography in public needs no permit. Commercial shoots, drone use, and some heritage sites or interiors require permission.
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: Local authority or landowner for commercial shoots and drones; no permit for personal street photography
Cost: No permit for personal photography; commercial shoots and managed sites need permission
Street photography in public needs no permit. Commercial shoots, drone use, and some heritage sites or interiors require permission.
Drone / airspace
Governed by EU EASA rules administered by AESA; most camera drones need operator registration and remote ID
For the EASA category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes to photograph, but Spain protects image as a fundamental right; publishing an identifiable person generally needs consent
Exceptions exist for public figures at public events and for people incidental to a wider scene. Organic Law 1/1982 governs.
Freedom of panorama
Full
Article 35(2) of the Spanish Copyright Law lets you freely reproduce, distribute, and communicate works permanently located in parks, streets, and squares, generally including commercial use. It applies outdoors in public ways, not to interiors or museum works.
Practical notes
- You can legally sell an image of the exterior of Gaudi's Sagrada Familia and other public-street architecture under Article 35(2).
- The real risk in Spain is identifiable people, not buildings: get consent or keep people unidentifiable for commercial work.
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.
