This is what Ronda looks like in the new international Netflix series based on a story by Agatha Christie.

Agatha Christie's fondness for Spain is well-known. Her summers in the Canary Islands and Mallorca were part of her personal biography, though these experiences did not feed into her novels. However, as a tribute to those Spanish experiences, Netflix's new version of the book 'The Seven Dials Mystery', scripted by Chris Chibnall ('Doctor Who' and 'Broadchurch'), is set between the English countryside and the iconic city of Ronda. The miniseries, which consists of just three episodes - ideal for binge-watching - is titled 'Agatha Christie: The Seven Dials' and is set to premiere this Thursday, the 15th.

This thriller lacks nothing in appeal, as it not only features a mystery plot with the hallmark of the queen of crime but also includes Helena Bonham-Carter ('Sweeney Todd'), Mia McKenna-Bruce ('How To Have Sex'), and Martin Freeman ('Captain America: Civil War') who star in a period narrative set in the mid-1920s. As such, some historical settings in the Serranía are rolled back a century to accommodate this plot. Here we reveal those locations, but be careful as one of them is a 'spoiler' about a hidden character in the cast:

The first surprise that the series 'Agatha Christie: The Seven Dials' presents is that the plot does not start in Great Britain, but in Ronda with a scene that invites mystery. And in those initial sequences from Malaga, the La Maestranza bullring takes center stage with a setup that will be crucial for the development of this thriller with its mix of bullfighting and crime.

Probably, a real and black-and-white view of Ronda in the 1920s would be very different, but the miniseries offers its vision of the city a century ago with this drone view that has been digitally altered to remove modern constructions and other out-of-place details. Before this panoramic view, a tour of other well-known corners of the city is offered, such as the Fuente de los Ocho Caños, the iconic Puente Nuevo, the Palace of the Moorish King, and the Felipe V Arch, among others.

Attention 'spoiler'. Among the images advanced by Netflix is this very close-up of actor Iain Glen, the Scottish actor who played Ser Jorah in 'Game of Thrones', the paladin and bodyguard of the legendary Khaleesi. SUR revealed his presence in the series 'Agatha Christie: The Seven Dials', during the shooting of 2024, but neither the official cast nor the trailer confirmed the presence of the Scottish actor, who is the mystery's wild card. We won't say who his character is so that the plot can reveal it.

Another major setting for the Ronda scenes in 'The Seven Dials' is the Alameda del Tajo Park, another popular location in the city where scenes that serve as a prologue to the second episode were also filmed, further complicating the plot of this mystery. The image reveals a robbery that will also have implications in the intricate Agatha Christie-style plot.

American actor Nyasha Hatendi is another member of the cast featured in the Malaga scenes. His character, Dr. Cyril Matip, holds one of the plot's secrets hidden in a remote house in the Serranía, and, inevitably, his fate will also pass through the Alameda del Tajo Park.
