Mallorca or as imdb suggests Algarve... the latter as Steve Randall has identified the building with the distinctive roof as the Church of Nossa Senhora da Assuncao, Largo da Igreja.

As there is a cut to a close-up this is either Alte or possibly Mallorca as, on the far left, is a poster for the Plaza de Toros Mallorca.

George skipping through sunny streets.

Sandford, George and Evans in London, SW3ish.

Good guess; in fact SW7. The west side of Roland Gardens. SJ

Preparing to marry at the registry office. Chelsea Town Hall on King's Road SW3 which can also be seen in 'Up the Junction', '30 is a Dangerous Age, Cynthia' and 'Food for a Blush'.

The same location now. SJ

After the ceremony. Chelsea Manor Street SW3, down the side of Chelsea Old Town Hall advises Alan Field.

Alan's Google image replaced by this better angle. SJ

Evans in a London street. Roland Gardens SW7, looking towards Old Brompton Road found by Alan Field. The street also appears in 'Double Exposure'.

At the top to the right is Roland House. SJ

That tower! Langton Street SW10, looking towards Gertrude Street and the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital found by Alan Field.

Replacing Alan's Google. SJ

That definitely says Chelsea on the roof. Alan Field discovered Langton Street SW10, looking towards King's Road. SJ advises that St. John's Mission Hall on King's Road has been replaced by the World's End estate and the row of shops on the right was also seen in 'The Sorcerers'.

Replacing another of AF's Google views. SJ

Nice shot of George below the villa... Manuel Gurtner adds, Beauty and the Beach, or more accurately, Susan George as Marianne Evans on the Praia da Cova Redonda, located west of Armação de Pêra, Algarve, Portugal.

An added image from Manuel. The view from one of the terraces of the large villa shows the impressive rock in front of the well-known Cova Redonda Beach.

A town.

George approaches the killing ground, a sort of monastery ruins... Indeed, adds Manuel, because we see the then abandoned Mosteiro de Nossa Senhora do Desterro (Convent of Our Lady of the Exile), situated above the town of Monchique, Algarve, Portugal.

A shot of the villa and beach below... and thanks to Manuel we now know the beach is Cova Redonda.
