The contemporary Spanish film industry is thriving, PEDRO ALMADOVAR
, ALEJANDRO AMENÁBAR and FERNANDO TRUEBA are respected
directors worldwide, while the names of actors like ANTONIO BANDERAS
, PENELOPE CRUZ and JAVIER BARDEM are recognized everywhere.
There was a time, though, when the Spanish film industry was less
buoyant, but the country itself was much in demand for locations.
The golden age of film-set Spain was the sixties and its capital was
Almería. The nearby Tabernas desert, the only true desert in
Europe, was a magnet to film producers, and a number of the sets that
were used at the time can now be visited. Finally the famous Spanish
masters: CARLOS SAURA , LUIS BUÑUEL and SALVATOR DALI
and the classic masterpiece: 'UN CHIEN ANDALOU' ('AN ADALUSIAN DOG').
MINI HOLLYWOOD
- The desert near the village of Tabernas was the scene of many
Spaghetti westerns. Some of the movies that were shot here are legendary:
SERGIO LEONE'S
'Dollars' trilogy' – ‘A fistful of Dollars’, ‘For
a few dollars more’ and The good, the bad and the ugly’
– starring Clint Eastwood as the Man with No Name, 'DJANGO'
with FRANCO NERO
, the sequels to which never seemed to end. Over a hundred titles
were at least partially filmed in these dusty streets.
CABO DE GATA-NIJAR NATURAL PARK
- This is one of the most beautiful and relatively unspoiled areas
of the Spanish coastline and has the most famous filming locations
in Spain featured in many movies including: INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE
, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
, CLEOPATRA, DOCTOR ZHIVAGO,
PATTON, THE WIND AND THE LION.
JOHN LENNON’S ALMERIA
- Almeria is is well known for being the location for films such
as "Lawrence of Arabia", "Patton" or Sergio
Leone´s dollar trilogy. John Lennon wrote Strawberry Fields
Forever in this south-eastern city of Spain. He got inspiration
for the song in 1966, during the six weeks he spent filming “How
I won the war”. Furthermore, John came back from Almeria with
his forever present "granny" glasses. Besides, Ringo and
George visited him and Ringo would come back in 1971 to film "Blindman".
