The `spaghetti western`phenomenon of the 1960s and 1970s
was one of the most astonishing periods in European film history. Numerous
westerns, and most of the iconic masterpieces of the genre, such as Sergio
Leone's `Dollars Trilogy`, used the landscape of the Spanish province of
Almeria to replicate the American West. Almeria was a land of almost perpetual
sunshine, dramatic deserts and valleys, and atmospheric white-washed pueblos.
Its parched beauty played an important role in defining the look of the genre.
And the relentless filming of westerns had a powerful impact on the economy and
social life of a beautiful but very poor and previously isolated part of Spain.
This book is the first in English to tell the story of the relationship between
Almeria and the spaghetti western.
Great news received from our friend Emanuel from the blog "POR UM PUNHADO DE EUROS-PROTUGAL" in which our blogs are quoted in this latest book on the follow-up "Espaghetti" of this Spanish writer. I'll look for more information.
