Production and release edit
Produced by Mediaset España in collaboration with DLO Producciones,[8] the miniseries was an adaptation of the memoir book Los días de gloria by Mario Conde, who was reportedly initially satisfied with the result and even lended part of his personal clothing.[8] The screenplay was authored by Helena Medina, whereas the two parts were directed by Salvador Calvo.[7] Filmed across the Madrid region, shooting locations included the former Banesto headquarters in the calle de Alcalá, the Casa de América, the Palace of Fernán Núñez, the Palace of Santa Coloma, the Museo Geominero,[1][9] the former Conde's residence in the Calle de Triana, a rural estate in Alcobendas and a house in Torrelodones.[9] Despite his early positive views on the series, Conde harshly criticised the removal of a scene concerning a conversation with the King, which was left unaired.[10]
