In the footsteps of La Casa de Papel in Madrid
Experience the exhilarating sensation of donning the mask of the most famous fugitives from the Kingdom of Spain. The fantasy becomes reality during a trip to the filming locations of La Casa de Papel . The event series broadcast on Netflix features a spectacular robbery in the heart of Madrid, at the National Coin and Stamp Factory. It is there, at the Currency Museum, that the stay must begin.
But the small screen is misleading. The series was not shot in the Royal Mint, but in the building of the Spanish National Research Council located 3 kilometers away. The budding robbers can admire the view from the roof of the Higher Technical School of Aeronautical Engineers, and relive one of the most thrilling scenes. It is here, in the series, that the police open fire on hostages made up as kidnappers.
A good burglary is above all a good plan. At the Casa de Toledo, we discover the place where the professor gathers the gang of thieves to plan the heist. The farm is located thirty minutes from Madrid, in the middle of a protected natural area where the Guadarrama river flows. The trip continues in the Romanesque San Frutos hermitage built in the 12th century, 140 km from the Spanish capital. In season 3 of the series, Berlin claims to write a treatise on theology there. The temple is located at the top of a canyon, offering a magnificent view of the Hoces del Duratón Natural Park. When the stay comes to an end, we flee, as the song sung by the bandits requires, shouting: “ O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao. "
