Desde sus orígenes el cine ha sido un poderoso creador de imaginarios sobre las culturas y los países del mundo. Por lo mismo, ha contribuido a configurar la imagen de España como destino turístico. Aunque los primeros documentales sobre España fueron filmados por camarógrafos extranjeros, muy pronto los operadores españoles empezaron a realizar sus propias películas, contribuyendo a conformar el imaginario fílmico nacional. Entre ellas destacan los documentales turísticos realizados para la firma Pathé por Segundo de Chomón, cuya habilidad narrativa y compositiva sientan las bases del género. Con ellos, sin obviar las expectativas espectatoriales, el cineasta consigue aportar un plus de realidad capaz de contrarrestar los habituales estereotipos sobre España manejados por el cine nacional e internacional coetáneos. Palabras clave: Cine primitivo español, imaginario turístico sobre España, documental turístico, Segundo de Chomón.Abstract
