Cañon Negro is located about ten meters northeast of
Tabernas, to the left of the road that leads to Senes, just beyond the solar
power plant. It is characterized by hills with a sharp profile. At the mouth of
this canyon was filmed the first sequence of “Duck You Sucker” (1971) when Juan
Miranda (Rod Steiger) stops the stagecoach: in the background you can see the
curvilinear profile of the northern slope of the Sierra Alhamilla. The inner
part of Cañon Negro was used in “El Verdugo” (1969); “El Condor” (1970); “Chato’s
Land” (1971); “Red Sun” (1971); “Doc” (1971); “Those Dirty Dogs” (1973). Cañon
Negro is particularly seen in “Chino” (1973), for which the set designer Mario
Garbuglia built the ranch of the main character Chino (Charles Bronson).
Subsequently, Cañon Negro appears in “The White, the Yellow, the Black” (1974);
“The Four of the Apocalypse” (1975); “A Dollar for the Dead” (1998). A set for
the Warren Oates ranch was built by Mario Garbuglia for “China 9, Liberty 37”
(1978) and another for the film “The Shoe of Manitu” (2001). Nothing remains of
these sets today.
