The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

GO WEST Oasys Mini Hollywood in southern Spain

During the 1960s, Italian film director Sergio Leone sought a location to shoot his Spaghetti Westerns. But instead of setting up camp in the real American West, he chose the enigmatic landscapes of the Tabernas Desert in southern Spain.

He and his team constructed life-sized towns in this semi-arid location near Almeria, which feature in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars and A Few Dollars More, as well as many other cowboy classics. You can still visit the dusty, decaying sets to re-enact those epic gunfights or do your best Clint Eastwood impression.

While you’re there, stop by at nearby Oasys Mini

Hollywood, another filming location, with its Wild West theme park and zoological nature reserve.
