Where was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy filmed?

2005 film directed by Garth Jennings

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) was filmed in Puerto de la Cruz and Loro Parque, 2 places named in its Wikipedia article's Filming section, in Spain. Wikidata itself records the shoot only as the Canary Islands. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a statement, and every claim on this page says which it is.

Places per Wikipedia's Filming section

Wikipedia’s Filming section names 2 places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Places whose own article says it was shot there

1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

• Loro Parque Spain

  “The pre-title sequence (narrated by Stephen Fry) of the 2005 movie The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was filmed at Loro Parque.” Wikipedia

Recorded only at country level

Wikidata also records this film as shot in the Canary Islands, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable — a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote — so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
