Movies filmed in Chinchón
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Chinchón as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Gran Reserva
2010–2013
“Shot in locations of La Rioja region such as Briones, the Valpiedra estate, Cenicero, Fuenmayor, Logroño, Haro and Alfaro, as well as some scenes in El Espinar (province of Segovia), and Chinchón, Aranjuez and Moralzarzal (Community of Madrid), the 13-episode second season began airing on 24 March 2011.” Wikipedia
Named here by Chinchón’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Chinchón, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
