Where was Two Graves shot? Revisiting key filming locations of the Netflix series

The Netflix drama Two Graves was primarily filmed across various Spanish locations, including the Provinces of Málaga, Barcelona, and Almería. These spots are not only meant to bring the fictional coastal community to life and enhance the ominous feel of the show; they almost become characters themselves, infused with that unsettling Mediterranean glow.

If the title Two Graves evokes a chill and a shiver of curiosity, the show’s recent release on Netflix delivers it with haunting authenticity. It was released in August 2025 and goes deep into the “quiet town, big secrets” theme. The peace of this mysterious town is shattered when two teenage girls vanish.

From the start, you’re in these twisty alleys, sun-bleached plazas, and coastlines. When Verónica’s grandmother, Isabel, goes in quest of the truth, each sunlit square and dark alley testifies to her desperation and determination.

The back-and-forth between the gentle elegance of the Spanish villages and the show’s oppressive tension has enthralled critics and viewers, provoking a fresh surge of “screen tourism” to Southern Spain.

Where was Two Graves filmed?

Province of Málaga: Heart of the drama

The production of the majority of Two Graves took place in the province of Málaga in the region of Andalusia. In Málaga province, the following municipalities were especially relevant:

Torrox: Situated at the slopes of Sierra de Almijara, the small town provided authenticity to several signature scenes. Its combination of tradition and contemporary life reflects the show’s repeated subtexts of secrecy and tradition.

Frigiliana: With narrow white-washed houses and twisting streets, Frigiliana was the main production center. Filming coincided with the yearly fair honoring San Antonio de Padua and therefore added a genuine festive feel to climactic scenes, such as market activity and village parade, etc., which occurred at Frigiliana.

Nerja: The coastal town brings Mediterranean beauty to the series but also grounds its scenes with palpable local color. Notably, the production employed actual beachside locales, including Restaurante La Restinga Beach (temporarily rebranded as “Restaurante Antonio” for filming), featured as a key meeting point in Two Graves.

These towns together create the triangle at the center of the fictional world and provide actual Spanish scenery (mountain views, sun-kissed beaches, and old plazas) that enrich the mystery and drama that pervade the series.

Barcelona: Urban edge

Whereas Málaga contributes to the rural and coastal environment, a range of scenes were filmed in Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of Catalonia. With a mixture of old architecture and new construction, Barcelona offered locations in city-like scenes from official police headquarters to clandestine get-togethers between investigators and informers.

City landmarks and busy streets have long been a staple in the world of cinema, but in Two Graves, the images are used in a restrained way that supports the show’s tension and does not take away from it.

Almería: Final pieces of the jigsaw

In order to achieve sweeping exterior shots and landmark-studded montages, the production of Two Graves went to Almería, a port city well-known for being a Mecca of cinematic history and for its very distinctive cityscape.

The show touches briefly upon familiar locations such as the Alcazaba fortress, City Hall, and the Museum of Almería. These add not only atmosphere but also visual storytelling, situating some scenes in a broader, recognizable Spanish context and dropping hints at clues for keen-eyed viewers.

What is the Netflix series Two Graves about?

The latest Netflix thriller, Two Graves (“Dos Tumbas” in Spanish), isn’t an average whodunit. It was created by Agustín Martínez, with Kike Maíllo calling the shots behind the camera, and Sábado Películas in the production.

The plot revolves around two sixteen-year-old girls, Verónica and Marta, as they vanish into thin air from a supposedly little town in southern Spain. Of course, the usual cop routine goes nowhere fast, so Verónica’s grandma, Isabel (Kiti Mánver), goes on a quest to find out the truth behind the unusual disappearance.

The main cast includes Álvaro Morte (Professor from Money Heist), Hovik Keuchkerian, Nadia Vilaplana, and Joan Solé. Notably, the series stands out not only because it is just three episodes long, but mainly because the main character is an older woman.

The filming wrapped in summer 2024, and all episodes were released worldwide on August 29, 2025. The scenery of Málaga, Barcelona, and Almería is already being hyped as one of Spain’s boldest revenge thrillers in ages.

Critics have praised the role of Kiti Mánver, with some calling the show “gritty” and “riveting.” The audience seemed on board too, giving ratings between 2.5 all the way up to a solid 4 out of 5.
