The filming of the new series 'Welcome to Eden' for Netflix will have to leave Lanzarote earlier than planned, due to a "lack of permits" for filming on the Caletón Blanco from Costas, as revealed by the mayor of Teguise, Oswaldo Betancort, in a press release earlier today. 'Welcome to Eden' is the next big Spanish blockbuster on the streaming platform, that started filming on the island on February 22nd.
According to the mayor: "These people were going to spend two million euros in Lanzarote but, due to a lack of permits, they now have to go to Teruel in the mainland, to film in a studio pretending that they are on the island, and we are losing the investment in the local economy.”
