The Image of Spain as Tourist Destination Built Through Fictional Cinema
Fictional cinema is one of the cultural agents that shapes the international image of each country. It colonizes spectators’ imagery, and it can influence their choice of tourist destinations.

Las bases de esta especie de OCW 2.0 ya estan construidas.
