Urban tourist landmarks and their representations in contemporary audio-visual productions: Spain as a case study (2000-2021)

The main objective of this research is to find out to what extent the landmarks or places of most tourist interest and the urban spaces converge in the main audio-visual productions filmed in the 21st century. This work is focalised on some of the most relevant Spanish cities in terms of tourism, as well as on island territories of special tourist importance. The study meets the requirements of an analytical-descriptive research, with a quantitative methodology and implements the use of the scientific observation technique. The results suggest the existence of a high degree of coincidence between some of the locations shown in the films and series selected and the places of most tourist interest in the cities and islands analysed.
