The Almería Film Festival is a cinematic event promoted by the Provincial Council of Almería. The province is one of the most renowned natural filming locations for film productions. This is evidenced by shoots in Almería for classics such as Lawrence of Arabia, Cleopatra, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, as well as more recent productions like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Exodus.

Over the years, FICAL has become one of the main showcases positioning Almería as a key destination for major international production companies, attracted not only by the natural beauty of the region but also by its infrastructure for all types of audiovisual productions.

Entre tierras, a Boomerang TV production for Atresmedia, has been awarded the Filming Award, which recognizes productions that continue to use and promote Almería as a filming location.

The series, largely shot in locations within the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, stars Megan Montaner, Unax Ugalde, Carlos Serrano, Juanjo Puigcorbé, Begoña Maestre, and Clara Garrido, and is set in rural Spain in the 1960s.
