The film "The Bookshop" (2017), directed by Isabel Coixet and based on the novel by Penelope Fitzgerald, was primarily filmed in Portaferry and Strangford, County Down, Northern Ireland, which served as the coastal town of Hardborough, Suffolk in the story. Interior scenes were filmed in Barcelona, Spain, including locations such as Bell Recó and Castell de Godmar, as well as in studios in Barcelona. These locations were chosen to represent the late 1950s setting of the film, creating the atmosphere of the small coastal town where the protagonist Florence Green opens her bookshop. The filming locations include the exteriors of the town in Northern Ireland and various interior shots in Spain.
