Maro beach was used as the backdrop for a new Timotei commercial yesterday. A model with a long red hair was filmed at the far end of the beach. The production team had chosen various dates to make the commercial, according to the weather forecasts and had a choice of locations, opting finally for Maro.
A total of 15 people were involved in the production, with five marquees set up for the equipment, catering and other requirements of the team.
Nerja’s councillor for Tourism, Bernardo Pozuelo emphasised the importance of these types of productions for the town, which bring publicity at no cost to the council. Last year twelve different film and TV productions came to Nerja, such as a Bollywood film company who shot various scenes around the town, including filming a stretch limousine on the Balcon de Europa. More recently a French menswear catalogue used different locations around Nerja, using Calahonda beach as a backdrop for a fashion shoot.
