TIL the term "Spaghetti Western" refers to Western films made in Europe. It's called such because most of these films were directed by Italians.(en.wikipedia.org)

Almeria in southern Spain still has a tourist attraction cowboy town in a desert like region that looks like the American midwest. I’ve been near there several times, told about it, read the brochure but never got a chance to visit it.

Look up the filming locations for ‘The Good, The Bad, The Ugly’ … it was filmed all over Spain

I’m actually going to that region next week. Might try to squeeze in a visit. Thanks for the tip!
