[1] Las aventuras del capitán Alastriste consists of an adaptation of the novel series of the same name by Arturo Pérez Reverte,[1] known as "Captain Alatriste" in English.
The screenplay was authored by Alberto Macías, Curro Royo, Carlos Molinero, Marisol Farré and David Muñoz.
[1] Produced by Mediaset España and Beta Film in collaboration with DLO Producciones,[1] the series was shot in the Korda Studios in Budapest, Hungary.
[3] Episodes were directed by Enrique Urbizu, Norberto López Amado, Salvador Calvo, Luis Oliveros and Alberto Ruiz Rojo.
[5][6] Pérez-Reverte himself was irritated by some historical implausibilities, the "excessive coloring" of the series instead of the gloomy cinematography imagined by the author as well as by the programming of the episodes after a brief recap of Gran Hermano VIP, although he defended the performance of Aitor Luna as a "very worthy" Alatriste.
