Where Sueños de libertad is filmed

This is a quiet square in the northern part of the old town, in front of the Santo Domingo el Real monastery. Hola magazine lists it, along with Calle Aljibes and Calle Buzones, among the corners around San Román where the main characters stroll.

The square is public and takes five minutes to walk round. It is about 400 metres from Zocodover, and San Román, the next stop, is a four-minute walk away. It makes a good starting point for the route. The monastery is a cloistered convent, so respect prayer times if you see the door open.

Toledo residents shared photos of the shoot in this area on social media. They included the former mayor Juan Ignacio de Mesa, who posted images around the Museo de los Concilios, as Hola reported a few days after the premiere in March 2024.

The church of San Román dates from the 13th century and now houses the Museum of the Councils and Visigothic Culture. The Castilla-La Mancha culture website says admission is temporarily free (the standard fare is €2). It opens Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 18:00, and on Sundays from 9:00 to 15:00. It is closed on Mondays. Inside you will find fresco wall paintings and horseshoe arches. If you only care about the series, the square and the tower are enough.

A couple of minutes from San Román, already inside the Jewish Quarter, Calle de las Bulas is another location named by Hola. The landmark is the Casa de las Cadenas, a 15th-century Toledo house with iron chains hanging on its facade.

Local legend says the house belonged to a converso blacksmith who had his forge in the cellar. It is a private home, so you can only see it from the street. Walk past quietly and keep the doorways clear.

According to Hola, filming continued along Calle de Santa María la Blanca and the alleys around it, such as the Callejón de los Jacintos, right next to the synagogue, and the Callejón Verde, a few metres away. The streets are public and free to walk.

If you want to go inside, Toledo's former main synagogue has white horseshoe arches and 32 carved capitals. The official Toledo Monumental website lists €4 for an individual ticket, and it is open daily: 10:00 to 17:45 from 16 October to 28 February and 10:00 to 18:45 from 1 March to 15 October, with the ticket office closing 10 minutes earlier.

It closes on 1 January and 25 December. The city's tourist pass (€14) covers this and other monuments. The cypress garden at the entrance gives shade in summer and is a good place to rest at the end of the route.

Among the Madrid exteriors, Hola mentions the Instituto de la Ingeniería de España, on Calle del General Arrando. It is a building with a yellow facade, white mouldings and a corner bay of columns.

It is the headquarters of a professional association and has no tourist opening hours. Check its official website if you want to know about events open to the public. Normally you see it from the pavement. The street is quiet and tree-lined, so photographing it is easy.

Hola reports that the crew filmed on Calle de Nicasio Gallego and in one of its doorways, in Chamberí. It is a short residential street with iron balconies and moulded facades, a few steps from Alonso Martínez.

There is no particular spot to visit. The idea is to stroll the street and look at the facades. The doorways belong to private homes: photograph from the pavement and do not go into the entrance halls. You can combine it with the Instituto de la Ingeniería, seven minutes' walk away, and finish at Plaza de Chamberí.
