Almería is one of the most important places in Spain for cinema lovers. This city and its surrounding areas have become a mythic cinema set, especially for the famous Spaghetti Westerns!

We are following the steps of Clint Eastwood, or also of Arnold Schwarzenegger - his famous movie Conan the Barbarian was filmed there. In short, if you want to feel like a true cowboy or like an invincible warrior, Almería is the perfect destination!
Seville is a wonderful city, with some extraordinary monuments. Film producers have clearly understood this, and that's why this city has been chose to shot some scenes of the mythic series Game of Thrones. The Real Alcazar is the setting of the Dorne region! Nothing surprising, you will tell me, since this former Moorish castle seems almost unreal with its both Arabian and Catholic influences. But we can surprise you a bit more: still in Seville, the famous Plaza de España has been used to represent a different universe: some scenes of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones were shot there!
