Drone photography & video in Sant Feliu de Guíxols
Somia Digital provides drone photography and video in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, a town where sea, harbour and promenade can only be seen together from the air. We work for family-run hospitality, long-standing local shops and summer event organisers, always with the flight prepared in advance and, if the venue needs its own permission, telling you what's required before we fly. Certified pilots, more than 10 years of experience and a team half an hour away in the same county.
Sant Feliu de Guíxols · Baix Empordà
Sant Feliu de Guíxols combines its port, seafront promenade and the renowned Porta Ferrada festival with long-established local commerce. The challenge for its businesses is turning seasonal visitors into loyal customers — and digital plays a big role there.
Local context
Harbour, festival and promenade: where badly planned flights get stuck
The first hurdle is the events calendar. A festival like Porta Ferrada fills the squares and promenade, and Royal Decree 517/2024 sets its own requirements for flights over gatherings of people, on top of the urban ones, with police able to restrict them. A promotional video for the event therefore needs weeks of lead time and is planned from beside the crowd.
The second is the harbour. Aviation law isn't the only permission: inside a port area you also need agreement from whoever manages it, which the client must have; on top of the usual ENAIRE Drones map check, we tell them what's needed before setting a date. The seafront promenade, by contrast, only calls for the usual urban conditions and a time with nobody underneath.
What it needs
Brief ideas for a harbour town
Family hotels and apartments
Families want to see the beach is right there and there's somewhere to stroll: an aerial shot of the promenade says it without words.
Sea activities
Boat trips, kayaking or diving sell better with the camera following from above and the coastline behind.
Event organisers
For next year's campaign, nothing convinces like a packed venue seen from the sky; it must be planned with the organisers and well in advance.
