Salamanca, Ávila, Granada, Mérida, Toledo, San Cristóbal de la Laguna, Santiago de Compostela, Baeza, Alcalá de Henares, Cáceres, Ibiza, Cuenca, Segovia, and Tarragona are part of the 15 documentaries being produced by RTVE under the supervision of Belén Molinero. The chapter corresponding to the city of Tormes is directed by the renowned filmmaker Manuel Armán. With over 20 years of experience in the audiovisual world, he has signed over 60 works for Televisión Española, including the chapter belonging to the documentary series on the life of Teresa de Jesús: “The Lord is also among the pots”, which gives him a perfect knowledge of the city's life.
The filming was divided into four work blocks, capturing Salamanca's rich heritage, the city's cultural offerings, and daily life narrated through the eyes of its protagonists.
The first filming block focused on Salamanca's Holy Week, capturing shots of the Act of the Promise of Silence held in the Patio de Escuelas; the Plaza Mayor, and the historic center.
The second block was filmed during April and recorded in numerous spaces such as the cathedral, the DA2, the Automobile History Museum, the Unamuno campus, the Faculty of Philosophy, the Palacio de Anaya, the Huerto de Calixto y Melibea, the Casa de las Conchas, the Miguel de Unamuno House-Museum, or the USAL R&D+i building.
The third filming block took place during June, capturing images of numerous city points and activities such as the Light and Avant-garde Festival, which will play a leading role in the documentary, and the University's Historic Building. Other aspects of Salamanca were also highlighted, such as the study of Spanish at the Academia Delibes, cultural activity at the Teatro Liceo, hospitality activity through Café Novelty, the work of Charro filigree at the Luís Méndez workshop, gastronomy at the Central Market, the El Pecado restaurant, and Vialia train station. The work during this month was completed with sunset timelapses taken from the City Hall balcony and the Parador, the Convents of Las Dueñas and San Esteban, the Barrio del Oeste, and numerous exteriors of the historic center.
The fourth and final filming block was carried out in July and was the most extensive of all. During this time, images were taken of the following spaces: the city's historic center; the Casa de las Conchas; the Pontifical University (Scala Coeli); the Huerto de Calixto y Melibea; the Casa Lis; the Cerro de San Vicente; the Cueva de Salamanca; the Pozo de Nieve; fluvial shots; panoramic views for which a hot head was used, and the Cathedral, where a concert offered by Luis Dalda was recorded, whose sound will be mounted over aerial images of the Cathedral's interior taken with a drone.
Due to the complexity of the filming, the RTVE team collaborated with all the aforementioned spaces, as well as with the Environmental Department, which managed the “wetting” of streets in certain parts of the city to improve the photography of the images.
During the 30 days of filming, work was carried out at about forty different locations, for which Televisión Española deployed three filming crews that filmed simultaneously, and collaborated with diverse groups and companies such as the Salamanca City of Culture and Knowledge Foundation; the Salamanca Tourism, Commerce and Economic Promotion Society; ADIF; Vialia; Esfinge Teatro; the Luís Méndez jewelry and Charro filigree workshop; the boat rental for fluvial tours “La Pachamama”; the Salamanca Local Police; the municipal program “Sal en bici”; FCC; the Salamanca Holy Week Board; the ZOES neighborhood association, and different departments of USAL and UPSA, among many others. Furthermore, the documentary shows a human Salamanca seen through the eyes of different interviewees who are part of the city's daily life.
The filming received support throughout all its production phases (scripting, pre-production, filming, and post-production) from the Salamanca City Council through the Salamanca Film Commission audiovisual promotion office.
“Spanish World Heritage Cities” is filmed in ultra high-definition-4K and showcases the historical and cultural richness of Spain's 15 cities declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. 15 chapters will display the monumental heritage and the tourist and cultural offerings of these cities.
