The Tabernas
Dessert in the south east of Spain has for decades provided
filmmakers with suitable locations for a range of movies set in
the frontier land of the 'wild west.' As Europe's only real desert
the dramatic natural scenery found in the province of Almeria
continues to inspire a number of directors that has included
Sergio Leone.
A number of the local film studios have responded to the
massive growth in the Andalusian tourist industry by adapting
the region's existing film sets to accommodate the visiting
public, whilst continuing to make movies. Texas Hollywood
has been the location for a variety of successful films such
as, Boot Hill (1969), El Condor (1970) and Hannie Caulder
(1971) and is now one of the most popular working film sets
combined with a theme park in Spain.

than it's counterpart, consisting of distinct areas that represent
