Spaghetti Western Location ~ Rancho Cubero-Galicia


In the northern part of the Dehesa de Navalvillar, about three hundred meters away from the great fort, in a basin at the foot of Pico San Pedro, a large ranch was built by Jaime Perez Cubero and José Luis Galicia - a two-story building with an uncharacteristic turret - which is used in several films: “A Coffin for the Sheriff “(1965): “Seven Guns for the MacGregors” (1965); $100,000 for Lassiter” (1966); “A Few Dollars for Django” (1966); “The Relentless Four” (1966); “The Hills Run Red” (1966); “Up the Macgregors” (1966); “A Few Bullets More” (1967); “John the Bastard” (1967); “Bandidos” (1967); “Two Crosses at Danger Pass” (1968); .”Death Know No time” (1968); “Killer Adios” (1968); “The Dead are Countless” (1968); “The Desperados” (1968); “Gatling Gun” (1968); “Fifteen Scaffolds for a Killer” (1968); “Requiem for a Gringo” (1968); “Ringo, the Lone Rider” (1968); “Garringo” (1969); “Adios, Cjamango!” (1970); “Arizona Colt Returns” (1970); “Sabata” (1970).

Nothing remains of this uncharacteristic ranch today: but, a few meters further south, stands out, like a surreal monument, in its isolation, the large brick fireplace (six meters high and two half wide) which was part of the ranch built for the film “The Legend of Frenchie King” (1971)

  1. I have a feeling this place was used quite often in Spaghetti Westerns. Very interesting.
