Game of Thrones Season 7 shooting has moved to Itzurun beach of Zumaia village in Spain’s Basque County this week. And just like the Gaztelugatxe islet where GoT scenes were filmed last week, Itzurun beach allegedly depicts a part of Dragonstone, the original ancient throne of House Targaryen.
The new scenes at Itzurun beach appear to set the stage for the highly anticipated meeting between Jon Snow, the King of the North, and Daenerys, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and possibly the future Queen of the Iron Throne. But before meeting Dany, we first see Jon and Davos hop off the boat and then greeted by Tyrion, Missandei and some Dothraki on the beach.
Despite the family history between the Starks and Lannisters, Jon Snow and Tyrion exchanged a formal handshake on the beach. The two important characters have met once before – way back in Season 1 episode 1.
At first, Tyrion cruelly called Jon Snow a bastard repeatedly, but ultimately gave Snow sincere advice: “Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor and it can never be used to hurt you.”
An irritated Snow asks Tyrion what he knew about being a bastard, but Tyrion acknowledged that he and the bastard Jon Snow are not dissimilar. “All dwarves are bastards in their father’s eyes.”
While we can’t make out what is said between Jon Snow and Tyrion in the latest set images, the exchange looks mostly courteous, if not pleasant. Check out all the Game of Thrones Season 7 set images on Itzurun beach here, courtesy of Watchers on The Wall.
Last week, we shared some Game of Thrones Season 7 set photos taken from Gaztelugatxe, an islet off the coast of Spain. Leaked photos from the set captured two scenes – Jon Snow climbing the steps with Ser Davos, and a scene with Daenerys speaking with Tyrion, while Missandei, Grey Worm and Varys walk farther ahead.
Finally, leaked video footage, filmed on Saturday (Oct. 22), also shows Jon Snow walking down a Gaztelugatxe hill to finally meet the Khaleesi. This highly anticipated meeting is important – Daenerys is getting closer to Westeros and is prepared to claim the Iron Throne, while Jon Snow will need more allies if he wishes to lead an army strong enough to face the White Walkers. Amid the overwhelming amount of threats and uncertainty in the known world, you best know that Jon and Dany will play the most pivotal roles.
