The house where ‘El palomo cojo’ was shot belonged to the grandparents of Eduardo Mendicutti, the author of the novel on which the film is based. Now converted into a hotel, it had to be entirely furnished for the filming, as each room corresponded to the character of the protagonist who lived in it, which made the task even more difficult.
