Where is Netflix’s Valley of the Dead Filmed?

Based on the novel ‘Noche de Difuntos del 38’ by Manuel Martín Ferreras, ‘Valley of the Dead’ (originally titled ‘Malnazidos’) is a Spanish zombie action movie helmed by the duo Javier Ruiz Caldera and Alberto de Toro. Set in 1938, during the Spanish Civil War, the narrative revolves around the Republican and Francoist forces that have been going against each other for several months.

The action-packed sequences and combat with the zombies against the wilderness backdrop tend to make the enthralling narrative all the more gripping.
