Mini-Hollywood in Almeria? …

...Yes, that's right! Mini-Hollywood is an area located in the Desert of Tabernas , Almeria, the only desert in Europe. It’s unique, beautiful and enigmatic landscapes provided the backdrops for historic legendary films such as 'A Fistful of Dollars', 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly', 'Indiana Jones', 'The last Crusade'….

Hundreds of celebrities and actors left their footprints here, like Clint Eastwood, Brigitte Bardot, Anthony Quinn, Claudia Cardinale, Alain Delon, Sean Connery, Raquel Welch, Orson Wells ... It was the paradise for Hollywood cinema for two decades, the 60s and 70s and the location for Sergio Leone movies.

When coming to Mini-Hollywood, you should wear comfortable shoes, and on hot days sun protection and at least one bottle of water. I also recommend backpacking particularly if you are coming with children since there will be much walking waiting for you. Also, don't forget your swimsuit and towel because you will want to relax and cool off in the:

Oasys Theme Park

OASYS Theme Park, is the largest Mini Hollywood site of all (and our kids are just crazy about it!). If you decide to spend a day here, be prepared. Make sure you arrive first thing in the morning (opening hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m), so you get the most out of the park.
