Nothing in life is what it seems to be:

• You thought that most spaghetti westerns were shot in Texas or Arizona? - NOPE! Sergio Leone discovered this corner of Spain in the 60s and since then it has become a film location for countless movies and commercial spots. 
• You were confident that John Lennon must have composed his evergreen song 'strawberry fields forever' in a cosy cottage overlooking a strawberry - NOPE! He got inspired right here, in the Desert of Tabernas. Strange, isn't it? 
• You were convinced that Federico Garcia Lorca's play: The Blood Wedding was fiction? Well, here you will find out that it is based on a true story!
