In Mrs. Davis, a nun named Simone (Betty Gilpin) will stop at nothing to destroy the artificial intelligence named Mrs. Davis before it causes a global collapse. In this article, we review her locations in Barcelona. The head of locations in Barcelona was Lluís Botella, and the location assistant was Cristina Tapia. Be careful because there may be some spoilers. You can watch Mrs. Davis on MAX.

 

Chapter 1. Mother of Mercy: The Call of the Horse

A nun named Simone must abandon her convent life when a powerful artificial intelligence known as Mrs. Davis recruits her to carry out an epic mission. Barcelona does not appear in this chapter, but we can see a beach where they rescued Dr. Schrodinger (Ben Chaplin). This is Sa Boadella in Lloret de Mar. There is also a Templar burning in a square that is the Apóstoles Square in Girona in front of the cathedral.

 

Chapter 2. Zwei Sie Piel mit Seitung Sie Wirtschaftung

As she considers participating in Mrs. Davis's heinous mission, Simone discovers that her ex-boyfriend, Wiley (Jake McDorman), is part of a resistance group determined to put an end to the powerful AI. Barcelona does not appear in this chapter either.

 

Chapter 3. A Baby with Wings, a Sad Boy with Wings and a Great Helmet

When their mission goes international, a clue in the English campaign causes Wiley to be distracted by a strange competition. They filmed the Excalibattle competition at the military fortress of San Ferran in Figueres. Barcelona does not appear in this episode, either.

 

Chapter 4. Beautiful Things that Come with Madness

Jay (Andy McQueen) proposes a side mission, and Simone will have to deviate from her mission or risk breaking her vows. When a mysterious priest named Ziegler (Tom Wlaschiha) kidnaps Wiley, they uncover an even larger conspiracy, and Mrs. Davis offers help.

In this chapter, Simone walks through a square in Rome. The square is full of people and a couple leaves a church for a wedding. Simone is at the entrance to Caputxes Street in Santa María Square, where the church of Santa María de Mar is.

Later, Simone walks along Agullers Street. She looks at all the shops because she is looking for a pastry shop. When she finds it, she goes in to shop. It is the Vilamala bakery on Agullers Street, 14. There She meets the pastry chef, María (Maria Pau Pigem).

 

 

We see Simone talking on the phone from a corner. We see the Santa María de Mar Church in the background, just near Caputxes Street. She walks through the square among the people and talks to a woman acting as a living statue. Later, they talk under the archway on the Caputxes Street. Simone is in the middle of the square, and people approach her. We see how everyone approaches her in an aerial plan.

Later, Simone returns to the pastry shop. She looks like the pastry chef cooks the cake. They filmed the kitchen scenes at the Conventet de Pedralbes. When she has the cake, we see Simone walking down the stair of the Pedralbes monastery. She arrives at the gate in the monastery square that is supposed to be the entrance to the Vatican and talks to a guard from the Pontifical Swiss Guard. She then sits on the stairs.

 

 

Willey and the supposed Pope (Roberto Mateos) escape from the prison and emerge into a courtyard with a fountain that is supposed to be inside the Vatican. They are inside the Llotja de Mar in Barcelona (Isabel II Promenade, 1). The Pope shows a tape to Simone in an office that is also in the Llotja de Mar.

 

 

Chapter 5. A Great Place to Drink to Gain Control of Your Drink

As Simone and Wiley search for the red-haired woman, they find an enigmatic thing, and together, they discover the dangerous reality of her connection to Clara.

Simone and Willey visit Dr. Arthur Schrodinger on the island where he lives. The scenes again are in Lloret de Mar. He explains Clara's story to them. We see a girl walking through a building. She is Clara as a child (Alba Lasserre), and Mathilde (Katja Herbés) goes with her. She is her mother. They are at Mathilde's work. They filmed these scenes at Palau Güell.

 

 

The girl remains seated, and her mother tells her not to enter through some doors. But in the end, she does it. She enters in an oval room. This room is at the Royal Academy of Medicine of Barcelona. It is the anatomic amphitheater, named Sala Gimberat. Then Mathilde explains to Clara what she does.

Later, again, we are in the Gimberat room, the sisters of the coin hold rituals and a make a session of the sisterhood.

 

 

We see the recording of the ad of the sneakers in Girona's cathedral square. They shot inside a church. The room where they keep the sneakers is in Figueres. The corridors where Willey and the Pope escape are in Figueres, too. Later, we see another meeting in the Gimbernat room, where they see the filmed ad.

Days later, we see Clara entering with a backpack through the door of the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site (St. Antoni Maria Claret Street, 167), representing that it is a university. She meets with Dr. Schrodinger in his office at the University of Barcelona, but they filmed these scenes at the Casa Lleó i Morera (Paseo de Gracia, 35). Afterward, Clara goes to live with the doctor in his house. He will help her. This house is also the Lleó i Morera House. They recorded the video of the blackmailing of the father there as well.

 

 

Chapter 6. Allison Treasures: A Southern California Story

After discovering where the Holy Grail is, Simone teams up with Wiley and the resistance to obtain a special suit to obtain it. In this episode, we see the sisters gathered again in the Gimbernat room at the Royal Academy of Medicine when Ziegler arrives.

With the shroud of Lazarus, Simone, and Celeste (Elizabeth Marvel) embark on a dangerous and terrifying journey searching for the Holy Grail.
