When watching the series you get the feeling it all takes place in one village. In reality the series is shot at several locations over Galicia. Main locations are the village of Celanova and it’s surroundings and the surroundings of A Coru\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big part of the series takes places at an high school. The institute you see in the series does really exist. It’s the IES de Celanova<\/em>, the local high school. As you could already see in the picture above it’s a beautiful and impressive building in this small village. The building has all for a tv series: a nice entry, beautiful library and a large patio with pillared pathways where the students often hang out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
