The only true desert in Europe, the Tabernas continues to expand due to global warming.
The only true desert in Europe, the Tabernas continues to expand due to global warming.
A protected region of 12,000 hectares, popular for its magnificent landscapes, the Tabernas Desert is very reminiscent of the American West. It is also for this reason that many films have been shot there, such as many spaghetti westerns such as Sergio Leone’s dollar trilogy, but also A taxi for Tobruk or Conan the Barbarian. Three villages have been created to shape different settings namely Mini Hollywood, Western Leone and Texas Hollywood. Only the latter is still active and receives filming. The other two are now dedicated to organizing tourist activities. Nevertheless, the filming conditions there are extreme with 3000 hours of sunshine per year. It is the brightest place in Europe.
