The U.S. ambassador to Spain and former Vice President of HBO, James Costos, has confirmed that scenes for Game of Thrones Season 5 will be shot in Spain.
To be exact, The Alcázar of Seville will serve as the Water Gardens of Dorne, where the late Prince Oberyn Martell's older brother, Prince Doran, spends his time. It is also likely that the country will host the filming of scenes in Sunspear, the seat of House Martell.

Dorne is the hottest region of Westeros. The region is rocky, mountainous, arid and dry, and features the only desert on the continent.

Dorne is the least populous of the Seven Kingdoms. Dornishmen differ both culturally and ethnically from other Westerosi due to the historical mass immigration of Rhoynish people and their relative isolation.

Dornishmen have a reputation for hot-bloodedness and sexual licentiousness, and are still viewed with some mistrust and rivlary by the people of the neighboring Dornish Marches. Dornish bastards are given the surname Sand.

Dorne provides many exotic products which are uncommon in the rest of the Seven Kingdoms.
