Spaghetti Western Location ~ Las Salinas (Part 2)


In 1968 a short distance from the Mexicn set they built an American type set, which appears in "Kill Them All and Return Alone" (1968); "The Wrath of God" (1968); "Boot Hill" (1968); "Sabata" (1969); "Adios, Sabata" (1970); "A Man Called Sledge" (1970) and "Chato’s Land" (1971) (some buildings of the set are used to represent a ranch). Of the two sets, many remains can still be found littering the ground: fragments of plasterboard and stucco, pieces of wood, canes and reeds. In the film "A Sky Full of Stars for a Roof" (1968) in a riding scene by Giuliano Gemma and Mario Adorf, was shot in a very long field in the lower part of Las Salinas, dominated by a characteristic pyramidal shaped hill. It also shows up in “The White, the Yellow the Black”. Sometimes in the background a white building is seen which is a service station at the junction between the road that goes towards Tabernas and the super highway that leads to the province of Granada.
