Do you know the locations for the rest of the film? Im trying to identify the hotel the stars make love in after they flee Barcelona. It's a stone hotel on a hilltop. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't researched the rest of the locations since I wasn't planning to go there yet. It's a huge project, you know.
DeleteGreat movie location.
ReplyDeleteThat hotel is the castle at the medieval town of Hostalric, in the province of Girona, in Catalonia ;)
ReplyDelete(don't think it's a hotel today, but there is a restaurant, I believe). Gorgeous place!
Does anyone know the hotel the last scene was shot at? Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThe last scene was shot in Vera (Almería), besides the old bullring at the end com Calle Mayor.
DeleteAnd the village upon the hill near the end of the film?With the grocery store Fatima?
ReplyDeleteThe barren modernist town where Locke reconnects with the girl, about 1h27 from the start, is El Solanillo. Recently images from the movie where used to renovate the central plaza, see https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Solanillo
