Fort Bravo / Texas Hollywood
Movie set · Granada
Checked
Fort Bravo / Texas Hollywood is a Western-style film set built in the Tabernas desert in the early 1970s. Stuntman Rafa Molina bought it in 1977 and turned it into a tourist attraction, adding mock shoot-outs and a working saloon. Spaghetti westerns including A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly were filmed here, and the set is still used for film and TV productions today.
Two western shows run daily: a saloon can-can followed by a mounted gunslinger show, in which a gang stages a bank robbery through the streets on horseback. Visitors can also ride horses themselves through the dirt streets and plazas, and browse a collection of period carriages. Public tours began in 1982, charging visitors 25 pesetas at the gate, with the first staged shoot-out added two years later. Beyond the spaghetti western era that built it, the set has kept doubling for film and television, including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Lawrence of Arabia.
What you see
The set splits into two zones: an American Old West street of clapboard buildings, jail, blacksmith and gallows, and a Spanish/Mexican pueblo built around a whitewashed church and plaza.
Practical
Horseback rides through the streets are included with admission and require no prior riding experience.
