They want to take photos with the actors, at the locations used in filming,&quot; the owner of the 30-room Hotel Esmeralda in Osuna, Alberto Piedra, told AFP. To attract fans of the series after film crews have left, Osuna's business association plans to offer special location tours while one restaurant will redecorate in a &quot;Game of Thrones&quot; theme. The town hall is also thinking of setting up a museum dedicated to the film shoot and will update its tourism web page to highlight the sites featured in the series, Osuna mayor Rosario Andujar said.</p><br clear="all"/>
