Just realized that I used the same thumbnail as this featured quiz. It's the beautiful Moorish arches from the Mezquita-Cathedral in Córdoba.

It's a good picture, definitely beautiful.

Nice quiz, too. The question about the film threw me at first because I'd never seen the title translated into English.

Penultimate question: There is neither a hint of Andalusia nor of a dog in the movie.
