== Films -- Live Action ==
* There is a sequence taking place in this kind of Spain near the beginning of ''[[Mission: Impossible]] 2'', where they managed to mix the running of the bulls with Seville's Easter with the Fallas with about any other Spanish cliché.
* Tom Cruise is doing it again in
** It may have been shot in Cádiz, but the movie claimed it was Seville.
* Parodied in the classic Spanish film ''¡Bienvenido, Mr. Marshall!'', in which the people of a small Castilian village decide to give themselves an Andalusian makeover in order to impress the Americans in charge of distributing Marshall Plan funds.
Line 54:
* Featured as part of a [[Culture Equals Costume]] spoof of the United Nations' Security Council in ''[[Austin Powers]]: International Man of Mystery''. The Spanish representative is seen conversing with a matador and a tonadillera, just like [[Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo|the Japanese is flanked by a sumo wrestler and a geisha]] and [[Britain Is Only London|the British is seated next to a beefeater]].
* The 2001 ''[[Masterpiece Theatre]]'' version of ''[[The Merchant of Venice]]'', and, likely, the Trevor Nunn stage production it was based on, has the Prince of Aragon show off with a flamenco dance step with fitting music to boot. Given that [[Did Not Do the Research|Aragon is in Northern Spain and has zero flamenco tradition]], this was about as accurate as portraying someone from Alaska as a ten gallon hat-wearing cowboy.
* In the [[Bollywood]] film ''Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara'' the three protagonists go to a stereotypical flamenco tableau ([[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|where they have a typical Bollywood musical number]] on what it is otherwise a very nuanced movie with mostly non-diegetic music) and end in the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, albeit the latter is [[Justified Trope|justified]] because one of the characters actually wanted to experience it and planned the travel accordingly. Otherwise, the film surprisingly depicts Spain as a modern country (albeit in a touristy way).
