La Calle Alcalá

The time travel takes us to visit the door of the church of Calatravas, where the movie Salida de misa de 8 was filmed, one of the first movies made in Spain.

It is located in Alcalá Street, in front of the Círculo de Bellas Artes, whose terrace offers great views of Madrid. An important sequence from Beltenbros by Pilar Miró was also filmed here. From there you can see the Casa de América, or Palacio de Linares, where in 1990 people went crazy because of some cacophonies where you could hear the wailing of ghosts and, even though a movie was not filmed because of this, it did serve some years before as location for one of Luis García Berlanga’s most commercial works: National Heritage.
