This distortion about Spain would have its beginnings in the 19th century, when several European writers and artists from the romanticism era made popular the "Spanish Myth". One of those famous novels inspired in Spain were "Carmen" by Prosper Mérimée.
Regarding the cinema, it was created in the 1930s as a subgenre developed after the Spanish Civil War and Francoism. Some known productions were: "El turismo es un gran invento", "Amor a la española", "40 grados a la sombra", "Vente a Alemania, Pepe" and "Abuelo made in Spain" among others.
According José Luis Navarrete, these films were so popular because they gave the population an unrealistic and idyllic vision about how Spain should be.

Double factorial
Double factorial is a method of calculating how many times a number is repeated in a geometric equation. This way, we can calculate the number of times a product is used in its life-time.
The double factorial of "n" is written as formula_1. When "n" is a positive odd integer, formula_1 is defined as formula_3. When n is an positive even integer, formula_1 is defined as formula_5. By definition, formula_6.
