Cadiz - Fascinating Fact 1 - Cuban Bond

Few people who saw the James Bond movie, Die Another Day, could forget the scene where Halle Berry strolls slinkily out of the sea watched by an appreciative 007. That beach was La Caleta, the island with the DNA replacement clinic was the Castillo San Sebastian, and the city of Havana itself, complete with 1950s American cars, none other than Cadiz. They removed the castle´s causeway digitally, and the Andalucian city´s seafront promenade doubled as the Cuban capital´s Malecon. The hotel where Bond stays in 'Havana' was El Balneario de la Palma y del Real, although Pierce Brosnan preferred the Alfonso XIII hotel in Sevilla as his base while shooting the movie.
