Synopsis

In the 1960s and 1970s, Almería, the poorest and most isolated part of Spain, gave its stunning landscape, historic architecture and sun drenched climate to the spaghetti western. Over 150 westerns filmed wholly or partly there, including most of the acknowledged masterpieces of the genre, such as Sergio Leone's 'Dollars Trilogy'. Almería, for a glorious few years, became the 'Spanish Hollywood'. Cinema had a major impact on the area's economy and social life. This book, drawing largely on Spanish and Italian sources, looks in detail at the relationship between Almería and the western: from The Savage Guns of 1961, when a British director rode the cowboys into town, to Silver Saddle of 1977, when an Italian director rode them into the sunset.
