- Abstract
This article examines the images of Spain in foreign fiction films. With places like Barcelona, Madrid, Andalusia and the Mediterranean coast, these films portray a modern, prosperous and culturally homogeneous country; Inland Spain and the Atlantic region are left out in this depiction, as well as their cultural diversity and identity tensions. The Anglo-Saxon, European and Asian films emphasize in their tourist appeal, the blend of tradition and modernity and stereotypes such as bullfighting, flamenco or the festive, proud and passionate character of the Spaniards; Meanwhile, Latin American films focus on labor and the affective relationships between Spaniards and Latinos. The optics complement each other: Anglo-Saxons, Europeans and Asians project a gaze comparable to that of tourists from rich countries while Latin Americans adopt the perspective of immigrants from poor countries. Both optics help illuminate the foreign perceptions of the Spaniards and the Latin American motherland imaginary.
