By in News Andalucia with 0 Comments

Between 11 and 13 October you can enjoy the second Almeria Western Filmfestival in the desert of Tabernas.

In the de sixties and the seventies many westerns were produced in the desert of Tabernas in Almeria province. Being one of the most famous, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with starring Clint Eastwood. The landscape resembles the north american Wild West, but was also used for films as Lawrence of Arabia and Cleopatra.

Now three western villages remain.
Fort Bravo , Mini-Hollywood and Western Leone where Sergio Leone filmed some of his westerns.
To see these villages, where you can do horseriding and every day scenes from western-movies are reproduced, normally you have to pay an entrance fee.

This year the Almeria Western Film Festival will be held in Fort Bravo and in the municipal theatre of Tabernas. The oficial program is to be found here. All the activities of the Festival are free.
