MINI HOLLYWOOD

There was a time, when the Spanish film industry was less buoyant, but the country itself was much in demand for locations - Lawrence of Arabia, Cleopatra, Doctor Zhivago... The golden age of film-set Spain was the sixties and its capital was Almeria. The nearby Tabernas desert, the only true desert in Europe, was a magnet to film producers, and a number of the sets that were used at the time can now be visited.

Mini-Hollywood, is the longest established of three theme parks existing in the area. The other two, Western Leone and Texas Hollywood, are still working locations, at least some of the time, but Mini-Hollywood is now entirely given over to the theme-park business. Its heart is a Wild-West set, what one calls "your standard Spaghetti-Western town." And most of it is deliciously, authentically false - real, phoney buildings that were actually used in films. Some of the movies that were shot here are legendary: Sergio Leone's 'Dollars' trilogy ('A Fistful of Dollars', 'For a Few Dollars More' and 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly') starring Clint Eastwood as the Man with No Name, 'Django' with Franco Nero, the sequels to which never seemed to end... over a hundred titles were at least partially filmed in these dusty streets.

Almeria was also used as a location for other film genres after the sixties (Patton, The Wind and the Lion, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade...) but it was the spaghetti-western that really defined the relationship between the province and the film industry. Mini Hollywood is a great day out for the whole family with theme park rides, good cheap food, a zoo and good local transport to get you there and back.

Just 20 kilometres away from Almerimar, Roquetas de Mar is the largest holiday resort in the Province. Built just two kilometres away from the original fishing village, the resort of Roquetas de Mar and Playa Serena boasts long beaches, hotel complexes, restaurants and bars of various nationalities, and a wide variety of shops and services to cover all needs.

Roquetas de Mar is highly recommended for shopping. The modern "Gran Plaza" shopping mall is brimmed with designer shops, fashion boutiques, restaurants, arcade, children's play area, tenpin bowling and multi screen cinema.

Just to mention a few of the activities on offer during the day, Roquetas de Mar hosts an 18 hole golf course situated in Playa Serena, numerous tennis courts, wind surfing, water sports and hang gliding for the more adventurous.

There are also two other golf courses within a 20 minute drive of the resort. For those warm Spanish nights there are a large number of activities available to compliment these.

A short walk away from Playa Serena brings you to a specially designated naturist beach, behind which is an area of salt marshes visited by flamingos, ducks and other fowl, usually between the months of July and November.
