Tabernas
is a
village
that
nestles
between
the
Sierra
de
Alhamilla
and
Sierra
de
Filabres
in
Almeria.
The
area
is
probably
best
known
for
featuring
in
many
spaghetti
westerns
over
the
years.
It was
during
the
1960's
that
the
area
reached
its
peak
in
fame
with
more
than
100
films
being
shot
here
due to
the
fact
that
it is
the
only
European
desert.
Films
such
as "A
Fistful
of
Dollars",
"The
Good,
The
Bad
And
The
Ugly"
and "The
Magnificent
Seven"
all
used
this
landscape.
For
anyone
interested
in
film
there
are
various
film
sets
built
in the
nature
reserve
of the
Tabernas
Desert,
three
of
these
are
now
theme
parks,
Mini
Hollywood,
Texas
Hollywood
and
Western
Leone.
