700 English Language Movies Made In Spain Bob Yareham by Bob Yareham instant download after payment.

   Cinema tourism (set-jetting) is a booming industry, as the hotels and restaurants of New Zealand will happily tell you after the deluge of visitors wanting to see where ‘Lord of the Rings’ was made.

   This book contains articles in chronological order about the locations used in more than 700 English language films made wholly or partly in Spain, and it has been published to promote the Spanish tourism and cinema industries.

   I have lived in Spain since 1981, and this book is my thank you to my host country. It would not have been possible without the unselfish help of many people who have taken the time to provide information when they probably had far more important things to do. Their contributions have been recognised throughout the book.

   There are few important directors or stars that have not filmed in Spain, creating a cinematic heritage here which may explain why Spanish actors and directors are so successful today.

   The book attempts to show you where “different scenes were shot, which famous monuments were used, where the stars stayed and what amusing anecdotes are still told by thousands of Spanish extras.

Hopefully the book will help attract a more culturally demanding visitor to Spain, reducing the excessive dependence on sun, sand and sangria; although everyone has the right to a little relaxation.

   The book is a neverending story; as we publish, new films are being made all the time and new information comes to light. However, at some point all this needs to be made available.

   There will be mistakes, but then this project has received no financial backing of any kind and is the result of many years work, with a little help from my friends, and not much from the official agencies that should have contributed.
