This is a ¨Road movie¨ in which the starring couple travel through several Andalucian locations , showing a real sightseeing of the marvellous cities and villages . A luminous flick that is more a documentary than the ordinary film with a love story. The Russian Nadia (Dianik Zurakowska) arrives at the Airpuerto de Barajas, which turns out to be the tourist two million, is received by some journalists and the Minister of Information and Tourism gives a gift: a trip through Andalucia accompanied by the guide Luis Soriano (Juan Luis Galiardo ). They travelogue across a number of Andalucian towns Among them the love is born, while emerging the traditional documentaries of the Fair of Seville, La Romeria del Rocio, in which it is possible to see Marisol, Carmen Sevilla, Alba, the Silver and know the bullfighter Manuel Benitez el Cordobes.

Enjoyable film very moving in its style with a superb traditional and Flamenco soundtrack and unique photography style . An agreeable film embellished thanks to its chromatic aesthetic from Andalucía, and a high-caliber Flamenco Score, adding tourist aspects of Spain, as well as sensual re-creations of love, however, with plenty of stereotypes and clichés. En Andalucía nació el amor(1966) bears remarkable resemblance to Aventura para dos (Spanish Affair ,1957) also dealing with a journey through Spain while a couple falls into love. A dazzling and glimmer film including a love Story, and devastating flamenco dancings. It shows gorgeous sightseeing from: Málaga, Córdoba, Cádiz, La Rabida, Huelva , and cultural explanations from bullfighting world, The film gives a real description about ¨Bullfighting¨ art . As the picture explains the bull is released into the ring, where he is tested for ferocity by the matador and Banderilleros with the magenta and gold Capote ("Cape"). This is the first stage, the Tercio de Varas ("the lancing third"). The matador confronts the bull with the Capote, performing a series of passes and observing the behavior and quirks of the bull . Next, a picador enters the arena on horseback armed with a Vara (lance). In the next stage, the Tercio De Banderillas ("the third of Banderillas"), each of the three Banderilleros attempts to plant two Banderillas, sharp barbed sticks, into the bull's shoulders . In the final stage, the "the third of death" .

Second movie of the unattractive director of López Eguiluz, is more close to the documentaries that he makes to the principle and at the end of his career, than of the few fiction productions that he does in between. The motion picture was regular but professionally directed by Enrique López Eguiluz , but it has several flaws , gaps , faults and shortcomings. Eguiluz was a writer and director who made a few films . Eguiluz was craftsman who shot thrillers , horror , family films and documentary , such as : Santo contra los asesinos de la Mafia , Chantaje a un asesino , En Andalucía nació el amor , La pandilla , Pascualín and after filming Agonizando en el crimen (1968) was promoted by Paul Naschy himself to shot the successful La marca del Hombre Lobo that resulted to be the first character of the unforgettable Wolfman Waldemar Daninsky starred by the king of Spanish terror cinema , Jacinto Molina . Rating . 5.5/10 . So-so , but passable and acceptable.
