We review the locations in our city since it shot several scenes in 2021 in Barcelona. Much of the series was shot in Lanzarote. The locator is Tavo Pazos. Attention! There are some spoilers, do not read this article if you haven’t yet seen the first season, which is already shooting its second season.

 

Chapter 1. The trip of your life

The episode begins with a girl who appears alone on the beach looking for her friend Judit. She calls out to her. She finds no one, and no one answers. There are remnants of a beach party, drink bars, a DJ set, and a giant screen.

 

 

Two days earlier in Barcelona, the girl we have seen in the first scene, Zoa (Amaia Aberasturi), arrives at her flat (Portal Nou, 29). She looks like she has gone out for sports. She lives with her sister. She receives an invitation via mobile to a party on an island to try a new drink.

We see Zoa walking down the street. She leaves the house with a bag to go on a trip (Portal Nou, 29) and meets a friend, Judit (Ana Mena). The two go to the mysterious party on the island.

A taxi leaves them in a factory. It is the Pirelli factory in Manresa. There they meet another boy named Aldo (Albert Baró). They go up the stairs of the building to enter. The stairs are those of the alley at Pamplona Street 88, the entrance to Razzmatazz 3. When they go inside, it is a hangar where the rest of the people invited to the party are. It is once again the Pirelli factory in Manresa. There they get on a bus and go to the coast. One last boy arrives quickly at the last minute, Charly (Tomás Aguilera).

On the coast, they board a boat that will take them to the island. Before going up, we meet Africa (Belinda Peregrín). We see images from her past. She is in a nightclub performance as Afrilux and later in the dressing room with her manager. They are in Razzmatazz (Almogàvers street, 122).

 

 

Another of the guests, Ibón (Diego Garisa), appears in the past in a meeting room, talking to his father, and they discuss. This scene is in the Mediapro building (Avda. Diagonal, 177).

 

Chapter 2. Evaluation

When the rest of the party guests come back to town, a boy says that there are two girls, Zoa and Judit, who are not in the boat. They tell him that there is a second ship waiting. This boy is called David (Jason Fernandez). He liked Zoa.

While they continue on the island, in Barcelona, Zoa's sister, Gaby (Berta Castañé), tells her father that Zoa hasn't appeared since Friday. He tells her that she will be with her friend Judit. Gaby is worried and writes several messages to her that she does not answer.

The next day, Gaby is home alone. Her father is a pilot. That day he flies, and he is not at home. Gaby is 16 years old. There is a knock at the door, and a cake arrives via messenger. Later at night, she receives a message purportedly from Zoa saying that she wants to be alone. Don't look after me, says. Gaby gets angry.

 

Chapter 3. Farewell Party

Barcelona, Gaby calls her mother because she can't find her sister. Her mother's name is Roberta (Blanca Romero). Gaby tells her that her father will be away for two weeks. So, Roberta settles in the apartment without her knowledge. She tells Gaby that she has asked a police friend about her sister. She assures her that Zoa will surely come back.

 

 

We can see a shot of the street where they live (Portal Nou). Then, we see Gaby eating, while her mother goes out with some friends.

 

Chapter 4. The Other Shore

Gaby, Zoa's sister, and her mother are in a car with a police officer friend of her mother. They ask him for help to find her sister. They are in a parking lot at Aragón Street, 219. She and her mother get out of the car and take money from an ATM next to a supermarket. (Enric Granados, 35)

In another scene, we see the streets of Barcelona from the window of a passing car. This scene is on Josep Pla street. Gaby looks for clues in her sister's room. She finds an old cell phone and sends a message to David, the boy Zoa met on the island and who asked for her and Judit when he was coming back on the boat and didn't see them.

A few scenes later, she is seen as a black SUV pulls up and parks on the street. It is on Diagonal Avenue in front of the Mediapro building (Av. Diagonal, 177). We see someone walking. Then we see her as she climbs some stairs and gets into an elevator to go up to a roof where you can see some views of Barcelona. The interior is also the Mediapro building in Poble Nou. She is a detective (Ana Wagener) hired by Ibón's father to look for him.

Gaby searches the internet for things about Eden and asks David if she can see him and talk to him. She lives in San Sebastian.

We see an aerial shot of Barcelona with the cable car, the Colón building, and the port in the background. Gaby is at the Norte station and takes a bus to Donostia.

 

Chapter 5. Storm

Gaby arrives at the Donostia bus station. She wants to ask David if she knows where his sister is. When she goes to David's house, she is actually in Barcelona. The interior of the apartment is in Gran Vía de las Cortes Catalanas, 562. The exteriors are in San Sebastián. We see them walking along the Paseo de la Concha. He works at the City Aquarium and they meet there.

 

 

Gaby is at the bus station to buy the return ticket, but he thinks better of it and goes to a hairdresser to get a makeover. This hairdresser is actually in Barcelona, not in San Sebastián. It's at Calle Roger de Llúria, 93. Later, Gaby goes to a friend of David's party. This flat is actually in the Eixample.

 


 

Chapter 6. Rebellion
 

We see a scene in a cemetery with Charly's mother and his brothers, today is the anniversary of his sister's death, and Charly does not appear. It is the Sant Gervasi cemetery.

In Barcelona, we see the detective in her house, a type of loft. It is in Manresa. There, she reviews the images from the camera of Ibón's father's building and sees how he leaves. It is the Mediapro building. She sees the footage of the alley where they took the bus to go to the party on the island.

We see Gaby taking photos of herself in a clothing store. This one is also in Barcelona. In theory, she continues in San Sebastian. This store is in Espacio Mietis (Ciutat de Granada Street, 62). Later, Gaby is taking photographs of herself on La Concha beach.

 

 

In Barcelona, he sees the Afrilux manager in his office building making a phone call. This coworking space is the Rusc de Turisme (Calle Montsió, 10).

The detective continues her investigation. She reaches the alley and enters the factory from where they got on the bus.

 

Chapter 7. Lilith

In Barcelona, the detective visits Zoa's mother, Roberta, to ask her some questions and gives her her card. She is called Brisa Galván. She searches for other missing persons on the same day as Ibón.

As Gaby connects David's bracelet in San Sebastian, they chase him. Those on the island stay in a hotel. The scenes of this hotel are in Barcelona, it's the Palace hotel (G.V. de las Cortes Catalanas, 668).

Gaby returns home to Barcelona and talks to his parents. Later, we see the tourist bus circulating along a city street (Paseo de Gracia) and a giant advertisement for Afrilux that is on Paseo de Gracia and Gran Vía. On top of the tourist bus is Gaby, and she meets the detective who follows her.

 

 

Later, we see the detective in her loft with the bracelet.

 

Chapter 8. The journey back

We see Gaby in her room in Barcelona with the mobile. Detective Brisa Galván continues investigating in her house, looking for more information. After that, we see her with her SUV on the winding road to the coast. She is looking from where the boat leaves for the island.

Africa discovers a secret place under the house of Astrid (Amaia Salamanca) and Erik (Guillermo Pfening) on the island. It's at the BCN Supercomputing Center (Calle Jordi Girona, 29).
