    Weren’t most actually shot in southern Spain? That’s vast desert country, lots of different spectacular backgrounds that don’t repeat in different scenes and even different movies.

    Even Stanley Kubrick went there in the late 50s, to shoot epic battle sequences for Spartacus that would have been way beyond the film’s budget if he had filmed in California.

      Almeria in southern Spain still has a tourist attraction cowboy town in a desert like region that looks like the American midwest. I’ve been near there several times, told about it, read the brochure but never got a chance to visit it.

      Look up the filming locations for ‘The Good, The Bad, The Ugly’ … it was filmed all over Spain

        I’m actually going to that region next week. Might try to squeeze in a visit. Thanks for the tip!
