The event held at the headquarters of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, was attended by Ghanaian actors, musicians, media personalities, Spaniards and Ghanaians.
Speaking to The Spectator the Spain Ambassador to Ghana, His Excellency Javier Gutiérrez said his outfit is happy achieving this feat.
According to him, over the years the embassy has done a lot of cultural activities in Ghana, and knowing Ghanaians love movies, they will show seven movies in three weeks.
He added that the feedback has been so good with a lot of people turning up, adding that it will continue to December 8, 2022.
Javier Gutiérrez noted that the initiative which also serves as an avenue for networking would be replicated in Kumasi and Tamale aside Accra.
The Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mark Okraku Mantey, said the relationship between Ghana and Spain is growing stronger through the arts and culture.
He said there is more opportunity for both countries to do more business within the space.
This he said would serve as a platform for both countries to develop together.
The movies to be shown within the period are Las Ninas, Felices 140, Las Maestras de la Republica, Yuli, Un Novio Par Yasmin, Mataharis and Intemperie.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
