Yes! Producers at HBO have confirmed it: America's most popular TV series is coming to our gorgeous region.
To us who live here it's no surprise. Where to best transmit a mythical, imaginary land than in mythical Al-Andalus?
The shooting is said to start still this 2014. Parts of the TV series will be shot in the province of Seville, with the Alcazar in Seville city as main contender - but the town of Osuna will see most swordsmen and dragons.
This sun drenched hilltop town, amidst olive groves east of Seville, is well known for its 16th century courtyard mansions.
But hold your breath. Speculation might go through the roof, the precise locations and dates are a well kept secret.
This does not stop many Andalusians being in a frenzy. Iceland, a location of the previous season, saw it's tourism increase by a staggering 20% - mainly because of the huge fan base. One can imagine the inland towns and villages of Andalucía, with their current unemployment rate, looking forward very much to some action - and an increase in tourism.
Whether or not anyone will get close to the film sets: proud of Andalusia we will be anyway, anyhow, and anytime.
This is our 'tierra' where knowledge spread to the rest of Europe from the university of Cordoba, the land of tiles and food brought in by the Moors, the land of Carmen and Don Juan.
Every day is a Game of Thrones.
OK, the settings are.
But don't miss that 5th season!
