El ayuntamiento de Aldeire (Aldeire Town Hall) put out a notice to residents on June 9. Here is my best translation:
It is reported that, during the next week, filming will take place in Aldeire. We hope that it will not be an inconvenience but any questions or doubts that arise should be addressed directly to the city council.The cast and crew have been in nearby Guadix and La Calahorra in the same province as well. Some have visited Castillo de La Calahorra where other productions have filmed.
The filming will be outdoors and will only occur during next week.
The show is broadcast globally and is one of the most important British television shows. The name of the show is "Doctor Who" and they have chosen our city for the scenery. We encourage you to be tolerant of the filming which we believe will make Aldeire a key attraction for the province.
Best Regards
A spanish company that unclogs plumbing visited their filming base in Lacalahorra on June 13.
The head of the makeup department, Claire Pritchard-Jones, posted an Instagram photo which shows that the set is within view of Castillo de La Calahorra. She is married to the production designer, Arwel Jones, who is also at the location in Granada Province, according to one of her earlier Instagram posts.
A fan managed to find the set on June 15. He was not allowed to take photos, meet the actors or come near the set. This is my translation of his report which can be found in the comments on the Facebook post below:
"We went to the set but they didn't let us in. We saw the Doctor behind some trees. They were filming a cart pulled by oxen. The Doctor was on the side, in costume."
The Papel Psiquico blog, with which I have been exchanging information, contains an account of filming and two photos of the TARDIS on location. I have translated as best as I can:
“Today, Friday, the crew were filming between the cities of La Calahorra and Alquife. Despite the fact that the crew did not allow him to get very close, he saw filming in a wood cabin and was able to recognize Jodie Whittaker dressed as the Doctor along with Ryan (Tosin Cole). He also spotted someone who looked like Graham (David Bradley, who was assumed to be in the UK). He also saw the actors board the wooden cart mentioned previously, which was pulled by a pair of oxen. He also said that the first day of filming was at a mountain near Aldeire.”
I can now confirm that Bradley Walsh, Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole were filming in Granada Province. They appear in this group photo at a party on June 15 celebrating Jodie Whittaker's birthday after the location filming had wrapped.
I will continue to update this blog as I get more information and again with some information I am saving until I am certain they are finished filming in Granada Province this week. The production returned to Cardiff the following week.The end-of-Spain-filming fancy dress Thirteen party.

I can now share the identity of an actress who was filming Doctor Who in Granada Province. She is Amita Suman.
I don't think Suman's Spotlight CV or the CV on her agent's website will be updated any further until her casting is official so, for now, all that is showing is "UNTITLED BBC DRAMA". Undisclosed BBC drama would be more accurate.
