Spaghetti Western Locations Then and Now – “The Good, the Bad & the Ugly”

 The opening scene in 1966’s “The Good, the Bad & the Ugly” shows a small townsite built by architect Carlo Simi just for this film. It was torn down and never used in another film although the exact location was seen in the ending of “Sabata” where William Berger tries to collect his share of the money blowing in the wind. The exact location in La Sartenilla, Tabernas, Almería, Spain and difficult to locate unless one knows exactly where to look.

Here is the same location as seen in 2013. You can still find remnants of the hitching posts and rusted sardine and other cans at the site.
