The Grand Canary Islands off the southern coast of Spain has been used as a location
for films since the filming of “Allied” in 1942. Sioux City,
sits in Cañon del Aguila, San Agustín, Grand
Canary Islands, Spain
Don Alejandro del Castillo, who owned the land, made a deal with 20th Century
Fox who used American designers to plan the area and a western set built in
1971 and used for the filming of “Take a Hard Ride”. Another western filmed in
the Grand Canaries was 1964’s “The Last Ride to Santa Cruz” and also the 1985 German film “Die Einsteiger” about a man who
invents a machine which allows him and his roommate to actually transfer him into
the movie he is currently watching on his video tape recorder. Part of this
film has the pair participating in a western film which used the Sioux City set. Today it is a tourist attraction and theme park.
