They do this kind of thing more than you'd think :) Due to my double life as an aspiring actor [0], I was an extra in a series [1] set in futuristic New York, but filmed in Madrid. They had a fake hotdog cart, a fake bus stop sign, and even a fake NY police car! You can see me for a second, somewhat blurry, having a heated argument in Italian, while Betsy Brandt [2] (best known as Marie of "they're minerals, Marie!" fame) walked past. Very cool experience :) Photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZmT11SFV3xWe5gft7 https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZmT11SFV3xWe5gft7
Also in Madrid, I was an extra in The Vault [3]. Near the beginning, the main characters meet at a London pub on a rainy evening - filmed in sunny Madrid in summer! I had never seen fake rain on set. I also was within a meter of Liam Cunningham [4] whose Ser Davos was one of my favorite GoT characters :)
