...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.
