Drone photography & video in Girona
Somia Digital provides drone photography and video in Girona with certified pilots and the groundwork done before take-off. A city of narrow streets, a university campus and industrial estates calls above all for planning: the centre is a built-up area, Girona-Costa Brava airport is a few kilometres away and big events draw crowds. With more than 10 years of experience, we prepare every flight so the aerial footage reaches your website, social media or sales deck without surprises.
Girona · Gironès
Girona is the provincial capital and its main services hub: university, commerce, professional firms and year-round cultural tourism, with events like Temps de Flors. In such a competitive market, standing out online is no longer optional for a local business.
Local context
What needs checking before flying over Girona?
Almost any job inside the city falls under what Royal Decree 517/2024 calls an urban environment: established centres, residential, commercial or industrial areas and publicly accessible recreational zones. These flights have stricter conditions than open countryside, and the authorities can restrict them if they see a risk. A façade in the Barri Vell, a warehouse on an industrial estate or a housing development all fall into this category, so we fix the spot, height and time before confirming a date.
The other filter is the airport at Vilobí d'Onyar. Article 41 sets a zone around public-use aerodromes where drones are restricted (up to 45 m in height, 6 km from the runway ends and 5 km either side of the centreline), and article 42, as a general rule, only allows flights in controlled airspace within visual line of sight, below 60 m and outside those zones. We check the exact spot of each flight on the official ENAIRE Drones map before confirming a date, and if it falls inside a restricted zone, we find another.
What it needs
Typical aerial briefs in a services capital
Developments shown in context
For an estate agent, the drone shows what a floor plan can't: how far it is to the station, the river or the university, and how the building sits in its neighbourhood.
Industrial sites
A plant seen from above explains size, access and loading bays in a single shot, handy for B2B catalogues and recruitment.
Events with big crowds
Fairs, races and spring festivals draw thousands of people. Flying over a crowd comes with very strict requirements, so we plan shots from beside the audience or with the venue empty, before or after the event; book it well ahead.
Air and ground in one shoot
In narrow streets an aerial shot works best cut with street-level footage; we film both on the same day.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Allow at least a week: before setting a date, the spot and height must be fixed and checked on the official map. If the location touches a restricted zone, we may need to find another flight spot.
Not in general, but it does affect where and how high you can fly. We check spot by spot on ENAIRE Drones and, if one falls inside a restricted zone, we suggest an alternative.
There's no fixed rate: it depends on permits, locations and editing. We'll send a tailored, no-obligation quote.
