Filming commences in Spain for Amazon Original series El Cid
Amazon Prime Video today announced that filming has commenced in Spain on El Cid, one of the most ambitious Amazon Original TV drama series to be shot in Spain this year. The show has begun filming in Soria and will continue in Burgos and Aragón, where the Sultanate of Zaragoza will be recreated, with an unprecedented production spanning more than 4,000m2 of set, with over 200 production staff and 11,000 extras. The Spanish Amazon Original series El Cid will launch in 2020 exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.
El Cid brings to life one of the most fascinating ages in Spanish history, where battles for power and the coexistence of cultures turned the Iberic Peninsula into a border between two conflicting worlds.
