The English Filming Locations
Community of Madrid, Spain
Several important scenes for ‘The English’ are lensed in and around the Community of Madrid, one of the seventeen autonomous communities of Spain. The city of Aranjuez seemingly serves as a key filming site for the series. Situated in the central part of the Iberian Peninsula, Madrid may possess several modern buildings but it has also preserved the look of some of its historic neighborhoods, making it a versatile filming site for different kinds of productions.

Ávila, Spain
Many pivotal sequences for ‘The English’ are reportedly taped in Ávila, a city in the autonomous community of Castile and León. In particular, the production team sets up camp on a beef farm in the city, right outside of Madrid. As per reports, they contemplated shooting the series in New Mexico, Calgary, and even Canada, before going with Spain, mainly due to the Western filming heritage and its reasonable production costs. Thanks to the suitable rock formations, grasses, and horizontal light, Ávila acts as the ideal production location for the Western series.
