Game of Thrones season 6 wraps Spain filming, winter is finally coming

Country was hope to Meereen and more

(Frank Marin)

Game of Thrones wrapped the bulk of its filming for season 6 this week, saying goodbye to Spain which has doubled for so many locations in the Seven Kingdoms.

HBO had a cake made especially for the occasion, which bears the House Stark sigil and images of the five major sites it has shot at over the past few months - Girona, Bardenas Reales, Zafra Castle, Peñíscola, and Almería.

Some key scenes were filmed in Spain [spoilers ahead], including the Tower of Joy and the apparent arson of a Dothraki camp by Daenery’s Drogon.

 

It's a wrap! Thanks to everyone on the shoot, it was a pleasure to be with you all these 2 months. Se acabó! Gracias a todos en el rodaje, fue un placer estar con todos vosotros estos 2 meses. #got #gameofthrones

Several cast members have been Instagramming photos of themselves leaving the country now shooting is complete, though filming continues in Northern Ireland where many interior and Westerns-Based scenes are shot.

Eugene Simon (Lancel Lannister) posted a photo of himself enjoying his time in London ahead of Comic Con, before heading off to film his last few scenes.

All the spoilers point to a dramatic season ahead, which it seems will almost certainly see the resurrection of Jon Snow, along with the return of a few old faces.

Game of Thrones season 6 has an expected air date of April 2016.
