JAMES BOND

It was on the 5th of October of 1962 that the first James Bond film appeared on the screen.

James Bond was already famous because he was a character in books written  by Ian Fleming. But he became known all over the world when Sean Connery played the role of the secret agent in 1962. It was a great success, so more films were made . When Sean Connery left the saga, other actors took his place.

Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig have been in the role of 007 since that time. Even Daniel Craig appeared  in the ceremony of the Olympic Games with the Queen flying over London.

Spain has been important in some James Bond films as Cadiz and Bilbao were filming sets in two occasions.

And in the next one Daniel Craig has a Spanish enemy: Javier Bardem is the evil character in this film.

Here you have one video to remember this great character: James Bond at the service of his Majesty.
