Neither the Autónoma nor the Complutense: this is the Spanish university where 'Elite' was filmed

Although it may seem like the day would never come, on July 26 Élite comes to an end. The successful series created by Carlos Montero and Jaime Vaca will definitively bid farewell with season 8, which will serve as the conclusion to one of Netflix's and Spanish television fiction's biggest phenomena.

Las Encinas will open its doors for the last time to offer viewers a new installment of 8 episodes, which like the previous ones, promise to be full of secrets, corruption, and recklessness.

This time, the plot will revolve around the arrival at Las Encinas of the Krawietz brothers, Emilia and Héctor, leaders of the alumni association of the institute. Their arrival at Las Encinas will shake the foundations of a school that, once again, will witness many secrets and events that will mark a before and after in the lives of its students.

Influential, powerful, corrupt, and corrupting, the Krawietz brothers will sow chaos wherever they go. As Netflix has advanced and as can be seen in the preview, the brothers will destroy the lives of those who fall into their webs. Only Omar will be able to confront them and will be willing to do whatever it takes to see them fall, as they represent everything that has always been wrong at Las Encinas.

Along with the return of Omar Ayuso, the final episodes will feature André Lamoglia, Valentina Zenere, Mirela Balić, Gleb Abrosimov, Fernando Líndez, Nadia Al Saidi, Ander Puig, Carmen Arrufat, Mina el Hammani, Iván Mendes, Maribel Verdú. Also joining are Ane Rot, Nuno Gallego, Alexandra Pino, and Mario Ermito, among others.

'Élite' filming

Las Encinas in 'Élite'

Throughout its seasons, the Spanish series has visited various locations, but one common place that has been present in all its episodes is Las Encinas, the nerve center of the plot. It may be the only thing that has remained intact in the series, despite the comings and goings of cast members.

However, this educational center doesn't actually exist, and is more of a well-known Spanish university that was purposely transformed for the series. We are talking about the Universidad Europea de Madrid, a private university whose campus is located in the municipality of Alcobendas.

Its walls have witnessed the evolution of the series and its characters, who will find it hard to say goodbye when season 8 premieres at the end of July.
