\"thedoor\" You might recall those rumours from around 18 months<\/a> ago that Universal was considering a Middle-earth theme park. Nothing ever came of that, but it appears that an eight-hectare Middle-earth theme park to be called La Comarca (The Shire) will soon be built in Rincon de la Victoria in Spain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

RINCON DE LA VICTORIA is to be the home of a fantasy theme park based on the universe and characters created by JRR Tolkien.<\/p>\n

Eight hectares have been allocated for the park, which is to be named La Comarca (The Shire). The project was unveiled today by the town\u2019s mayor Francisco Salado at the international tourism fair FITUR, currently taking place in Madrid.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Shire will become one of the major tourism attractions of our town. The material will have a very low environmental impact, to create an integrated image in nature,\u201d said Mr Salado.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt will be a place in which family leisure, sports and nature will go hand-in-hand in a unique space of great beauty set in a time of fairy tales and the magic of the elves. Without a doubt, Rincon de la Victoria will have a top-rated tourist attraction, which will also add to the variety of attractions of Malaga.\u201d<\/p>\n
