“Residuos” la ciudad de cine y turismo

Laburpena

One of the obliged visits when we go to Almeria andespecially with children it is the Western, and is not abad idea. For one day we amuse ourselves, first seeingfrom was the shops of the Indians and the bars of thestrangers, we feel one more spectator, then we disguiseourselves as Indian or as gunman and take the city.The village of the “Albaricoques” constituted the firstTourist - cinematographic route of Almeria. In thisplace movies as emblematic were rolled as For a fewdollars more (1965) , The Good, the Bad, the Ugly(1966), A fistful of dollars (1964)… Clint Eastwoodand Sergio Leone walked there, but now only the Avenue remains Sergio Leone, the Street Clint Eastwood,the street Ennio Morricone... Residues of the cinema,remains of sets that stayed of a golden epoch.These residues are not something derogatory although the term suggests. As the coffee grounds tothrow used to grow Shiitake mushrooms, a highlyprized variety, with the Film Tourism is the same.We went through filming that flooded our landscapes crowded with bulky sets. Maybe it was beneficial to us during the shoot, then waste, but nowwith what we have is a new activity. This is the trueecology, the true recycling. Find a new and fruitful use of what others have discarded. Now we findthe Houses “The Minilla” or Hostal Restaurant Alba,his motto “Live your own adventure” and a red carriage with the name “Wells Fargo” in the door ... The60’s were the golden age of American film shoots inSpain, making such films in current sanctuaries tours.
