‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ filming to take over La Orotava in Tenerife this weekend

The municipality of La Orotava is set to transform into a filming location for the popular American television series NCIS: Los Angeles this Saturday, which follows a team of special agents from the United States Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

The announcement, made by the La Orotava Town Hall via their Facebook page, confirmed that the town centre will serve as the backdrop for the crime drama.

The production, which has LL Cool J and Chris O’Donnell among the cast, will bring temporary traffic modifications to the area surrounding the central Plaza de La Constitución. From tomorrow, Friday, parking will be prohibited on Puente Escultor Estévez, Calle Calvario (from the bridge to Avenida de Canarias), Calle Cantos Canarios, and the Lercaro car park.

On Saturday, vehicle access to Plaza de La Constitución and Puente Escultor Estévez will be blocked. Additionally, pedestrian access to the plaza and the nearby Victoria Gardens will be restricted during filming.

The production team has already been active in Tenerife, with scenes recently filmed in Icod de los Vinos at the iconic Drago Park. La Orotava now follows as the next picturesque location to feature in the long-running series, which first aired on CBS in September 2003. Known as Navy: Investigación Criminal in Spain, the show is broadcast on AXN.

La Orotava has a history of being chosen as a filming location. In 2019, the town hosted part of the production of the Spanish series La Templanza, based on the novel by María Dueñas.

Fans of NCIS: Los Angeles can look forward to seeing the town take centre stage in an internationally acclaimed production, while authorities remind the public to be mindful of the temporary traffic and access restrictions during the filming schedule.
