Trivia about Witching & Bitching

The film was the most awarded at the 28th Goya Awards, winning eight of its ten nominations, mostly in technical categories.

The plot is inspired by an essay by anthropologist Mikel Azurmendi, published in 2013, about the auto de fe of 1610, in which thirty-nine women from Zugarramurdi were tried for witchcraft.

Its opening weekend in Spanish theaters brought in 1,236,390 euros, or 21% of the total box office.

It premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival in the Midnight Madness section and was shown out of competition at San Sebastián, coinciding with the Donostia Award presented to Carmen Maura.

The opening robbery sequence was filmed outside the Puerta del Sol using a hidden camera setup, because the square could not be closed off or recreated on a soundstage; the store that was robbed was a real shop.

Filming lasted two weeks in Zugarramurdi and used extras selected from the town's residents, according to the crew during a presentation held there.

The film used more than 200 extras, and the scene with the largest number was shot in Zugarramurdi, where hundreds of extras dressed as witches took part.

Terele Pávez and Carmen Maura play mother and daughter, although in real life they were only six years apart.
