Where was Pluribus filmed? The house and all the locations in Albuquerque

The pilot, "We Is Us", opens at NRAO Very Large Array, one of the world’s most advanced radio astronomy observatories, located on the plains of San Agustín in New Mexico.

Also featured in Contact, the complex is made up of 27 giant dish antennas that operate together as a single massive telescope.

It may sound like someone just called it the “Very Large Array” because it’s… very large, but radio astronomers often use simple, descriptive names for major instruments. In science, the goal is clarity!

The bookstore where Carol signs copies of her mindless, speculative historical romance novel, Bloodsong of Wycaro, is the Barnes & Noble in the Uptown area of Albuquerque.

The RR biological laboratory where it all began is actually the CNM Rio Rancho Campus, one of the branch campuses of Central New Mexico Community College.

An easy location to spot: Albuquerque’s airport is the real Albuquerque International Sunport.

The Silver Jack Saloon scenes were filmed at The Butcher in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, a restaurant located in this northern area of the city, known for its farms, wineries, and boutique dining.

To avoid the issues he faced in earlier shows, where real neighbours were sometimes harassed by fans, and to gain full creative control over the location, Vince Gilligan chose to build the entire cul-de-sac where Carol and Helen live from scratch, including all the houses.

The massive set was constructed on the edge of northwest Albuquerque, near a quiet residential area known as Vista Vieja.

The opening scene of the second episode, "Pirate Lady," set in Tangier, Morocco, was actually filmed in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands.

The apartment buildings shown in this scene were digitally altered via CGI to appear run-down, but they are in good condition in real life.

Zosia (played by Karolina Wydra) drives through the city toward the airport.

This sequence, pictured, was filmed at the La Laja Beach overpass, located on the outskirts of Las Palmas.

This establishing shot was filmed at the real Bilbao Airport in the Basque Country, designed by the renowned Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava.

However, the interior was filmed at the Oviedo Congress and Exhibitions Center in Asturias, designed by the same architect.

Often nicknamed “La Almeja” (“The Clam” in Spanish), this futuristic center has been surrounded by controversy due to its enormous scale, high costs, and ongoing maintenance issues.

The summit takes place at the Hotel Iturregi, a boutique 4‑star rural lodge located in the village of Getaria on the Basque coast.

Housed in a restored farmhouse, the hotel offers panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards and the Cantabrian Sea.

With only eight rooms and suites, rates typically start around €200 per night for double rooms in the low season.

The Sprouts Farmers Market in the third episode, "Grenade", is an actual grocery chain. The production used the Four Hills branch in Albuquerque.

There are around 20–30 functioning ice hotels around the world, but the one featured in this episode was probably built at the studios.
