Route Of The Spaghetti Western Movie In Spain

Several times a day the visit is complemented by a live show from the West, in which several gunmen face through the streets and balconies of the town of Almeria, Spain, on 30 June 2018. Western films as mythical as "The good, the ugly and the bad", "Once Upon a Time in the West" and "For a few dollars more", among others, were filmed not in the United States but in Spain, in the desolate expanses of the Tabernas desert , the only desert in Europe. Here the so-called spaghetti western, western films shot by Italian directors and producers filmed in Spain, which enjoyed great success in the 1960s and 1970s, were filmed.Over time, several sets of filming were built as if they were old Far West border cities, and even today they are still open to offer shows to visitors in addition to filming films and advertisements.
