Spaghetti Western Trivia ~ Fistful of Dollars Castle




Ever wonder what that building is in the distance in  shots showing the Baxters house in “Fistful of Dollars”? It’s the ruins of he Pico-Torrelones-Hoyo which was the vacation home of Generalissimo Franco which can be seen on the hilltop.

  1. El castillo no puede ser el de Tabernas porque el decorado es el de Hoyo de Manzanares a 50 km al noroeste de Madrid.
    Lo que se ve al fondo es la casa del Generalisimo Franco jefe del estado durante 39 anos.
    Teneis estos errores porque no os sale de las .... ver mi enciclopedia del eurowestern donde hay respuestas a muchas incognitas
