National destinations are so impressive that for several decades they have been used as scenery in different productions around the world. During the 26th Malaga Film Festival, these tourist attractions can be exhibited, which have attracted the attention of different filmmakers, such as Steven Caple Jr., who is in charge of the movie Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
