The rough, hilly area of Sierra Tabernas, some two hours’ drive south of Granada looks very much like the American Southwest, which is why Sergio Leone and other Italian film directors used it repeatedly to film their so-called Spaghetti Westerns in the 1960’s and 70’s. That and, I suppose, the much lower costs of making them than in Italy. Many of these films began or revived the careers of American actors, like Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, and even Henry Fonda. There are also little western ghost towns scattered around, where you can belly up to the same bar used in Once Upon A Time In The West, or ascend a scaffold and try out a very deadly-looking noose.
