5 Netflix series to watch for their locations

Set in colourful Medellin, Narcos tells the story of Pablo Escobar and his Medellin Cartel during the 70s and 80s. Colombia's second-largest city provides the backdrop for the drama and action that propel the audience through the lives of the gangs and law-enforcers as the story unfolds. Nowadays Medellin has a more tranquil vibe but its modern history is the context for this intriguing tale.

If you enjoyed Game of Thrones, The Witcher will probably be right up your street. Based on the books and video game of the same name, this comedy fantasy story makes for great escapism. The Canary Islands provide the perfect setting, most notably Roque Nublo which is instantly recognisable; you'll feel as though you've been transported there.

This documentary is another one to add to the annals of Sir David Attenborough. Filmed around the world, this series is the perfect way to inspire your next adventure, particularly for the animal-lovers amongst us. Attenborough's iconic narration tells stories of wildlife species as they survive their everyday successes and hardships. One particular sequence follows walruses as they try to find space for mating on top of a cliff - it's both riveting and heart-breaking to watch.
