Polopos, Spain is a small town and part of the commune of Lucainena de las Torres, located at the foot of the southern slope of the Sierra Alhamilla. It’s listed as a set representing Mexican villages in "Johnny Yuma" (1966); "John the Bastard" (1968); "The 5-Man Army" (1969); "100 Rifles" (1969); "A Man Called Sledge" (1970) (for this film on a hill in the town was built a set that represented a great Baroque church in ruins); "Companeros" (1970); “The Hunting Party” (1971).



About a kilometer below Polopos is Puntal de Polopos, a picturesque complex of rustic house ruins, which appears in “Johnny Yuma” (1966) (in the rambla at the foot of the village there is also a farm house); "A Bullet for the General "(1966) (the village where Lou Castel kills General Elias); "The Avenger" (1966); "God Forgives ... I Don’t" (1967) (in a scene in which Terence Hill controls the village from the same spot as Lou Castel was seen); "Professionals for a Massacre" (1968); "A Train for Durango" (1968); "Blood and Guns" (1969); "Sonny & Jed" (1972)
