HBO’s technical staff arrived in Zumaia, Spain yesterday to pave the way for Game of Thrones season 7 and things are getting interesting already. The production team have begun altering the exterior location along a walkway by the beach, adding what appear to be battlements to the low walls. That leaves the question of, which location will this be, situated by Zumaia’s beautiful coast? The look so far is much more in line with Essos than Westeros, though we can’t rule out Dorne entirely. Will Daenerys be landing at this site? It seems like a fair possibility.

Locals have taken photos and videos of the work in progress in Zumaia. As you can see, visitors are checking out the set under development.

There are more images at the source in El Diario Vasco.

Extras casting is due to begin in the northern cities shortly with Modexpor International having previously stated they’ll release more info on October 5th about the search in Zumaia and Bermeo. Only men are needed as extras in the Basque cities, according to Modexpor; hopefully tomorrow we’ll learn even more.

Thanks to H. Stark for the assistance with the Zumaia info!
