Mini Hollywood Overview |
 |
|
The stunning
landscape provided by the arid regions in the province of
Almeria has attracted filmmakers working within the 'Wild
West' genre to southern Spain for decades. The Tabernas
Dessert in particular has maintained world interest in the
Spanish film industry providing impressive locations for a
number of powerful spaghetti westerns throughout the
1960s and 70s.
In more recent years the studios have responded to the growth in
the tourist industry throughout Andalusia by adapting the most famous
film sets in the area to facilitate public interest and access.
The most popular of these themed attractions is located approximately
24 kilometres north of the gorgeous provincial capital city on the
N-340, and is known in Spanish as Poblado Del Oeste, or Mini Hollywood.

Over one hundred films have been shot at the Mini
Hollywood location during it's time as a film set, including the
Sergio Leone classics A Fistful of Dollars, The Magnificent Seven;
and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. The characteristic, artificial
western towns of Mini Hollywood were originally erected in the
heart of the Tabernas desert landscape in the spring of 1965.
The location is currently maintained in it's original conditions
complete with an authentic, working saloon.
Visitors to Mini Hollywood are provided with a
variety of thrilling entertainments, which include a simulation
of a wild west style bank robbery with spectacular staged
gunfights twice daily in the centre of town at noon, and
again at 5pm. Mini Hollywood also boasts an excellent
range of themed facilities and services designed to suit
any taste and budget.
