Fort Bravo Entrance Ticket

Despite some of the recent negative reviews, we decided to go anyway. Although I don’t speak Spanish, I could easily pick up on the fun that everyone was having, actors and audience alike. It was a great performance and for about £20 each, the price was fine for a bit of lighthearted entertainment.

The dancers were smiling and laughing along with all of us.

Just go along with it and enjoy it!

Please please ignore all the negative reviews. We visited today and had a fantastic time.

We researched beforehand which park to go to and decided on Fort Bravo as it seemed to be the best if you just want to see where all those great Spaghetti westerns were filmed. Yes the buildings look old & tired, but they are supposed to and many are original. A film company were setting up for a shoot as it’s still used as a location now.

The shows were fantastic and yes the dialogue is in Spanish, but hey you are in Spain ! but it made no difference to our enjoyment that we didn’t understand what was being said, the actors were all so good it didn’t matter. The saloon show was funny & the Wild West shoot out with Cowboys & horses absolutely fantastic. The horses looked extremely well cared for, which as a horse owner myself was very important to me. After each show the Cowboys happily posed for photos with you. The restaurant was good, we paid 21 euros for a hot meal and drink for both of us, which was very tasty. I did the horse riding, which was 9.50 euros for 15 minutes escorted round the set by one of the Cowboys. You don’t need to be able to ride, the horse was lovely and quiet. Your entry ticket also includes a Horse & cart ride around the set ( think they were Mules actually)

The gift shop was reasonably priced 4.50 euros for a cowboy hat ( which is a must for all your selfies 😂) The staff all worked extremely hard, doing the shoes, carriage rides, running the shop & bar, I found them all polite and happy. If you are looking for a full on theme park with the Wild West, water parks and a zoo Oasys may be better for you, but if you just want to soak up the Wild West Spaghetti Westerns experience and Stand where Clint Eastwood, Lee van Cleefe and all have been, then go to Fort Bravo, you won’t be disappointed.

Thanks Fort Bravo for a very memorable day

If you are a fan of the Spaghetti Westerns, this is the place you have to go to. Quite honestly, many of the negative reviews are off here. You actually do receive entrance information about the history of the place and its development, but it is in Spanish. Similarly, most people speak Spanish here, not English, which is understandable since you're in Spain.

Out of all the places, this is the one the preserved most of the sets used for countless number of movies. Leone himself designed the town for his own films, which lends the entire town a cinematographic air about it. You can't shoot a picture of it without it looking amazing. Also, the visual aspects of the sets keep opening themselves up since often one building was used for difference facades such as the front serving as a bank and the back of it serving as a store. Hence, the place keeps changing its visual nature depending on where you are standing in relationship to it. There is an "old Mexico" section of the town, which is equally engaging. Accompanying your entry is a free pass for a ride with a horse-drawn carriage, which is good in giving you a sense of the scope of the park. The park itself might not be large. But the endless reconfigurations it offers depending on where you stand in it can be endlessly mesmerizing. Afterall, you are standing on part of the set of the beginning of *The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly*, which, for a true fan, is somewhat an unbelievable experience. It is also amazing the way in which the wind whips up the dust in the town that emulates exactly what you have seen in many Spaghetti Westerns without the need of hurricane fans' assistance.

The set really gives you a sense of the visually beautiful nature of the Spaghetti Westerns and how important the scenery was in addition to the acting, the music, wardrobe, and the like. If you are a fan of Spaghetti Westerns, THIS IS THE PARK YOU NEED TO PRIORITIZE.

The park also offers a couple of shows: a moderately done can-can. A Western show inside the saloon about stolen money and stolen horses, which includes someone from the audience. Yes, it is is Spanish. So English-only speakers might be left in the dust here. But it is not like the plot is all the complicated. And, like Mini Hollywood, it also offers an outdoor espectaculo gunfight. Although it doesn't have the same production quality as Mini Hollywood, there is something mesmerizing about watching the re-enactment in the streets where you have watched so many Westerns . I couldn't help but crouch down and try to start shooting like Leone himself just to capture a taste of what it might have been like.

Wow what an amazing place! An original Western Movie Set,built in the 1960’s for the spaghetti westerns. Fantastic for western movie afficanados like myself and adults, not a kids theme park , but instead this IS The Real McCoy, Authentic Western 'New Mexico Town, of Lahood’ , Superb, huge authentic saloon, adorned with celebrity photos of Harrison Ford , David Beckham, Real Madrid and Man Utd teams and many more , complete with battered American flag overlooking the saloon. Excellent dancing Can Can showgirls on the stage,followed fabulous Cowboy bar room brawl and shootout, morning show started at 12.00pm , show lasted for a good forty five minutes plus. Great value . All the actors were fantastic, with great humour and you could tell that they all absolutely loved their work!

Delicious home cooked lunchtime meal in the fabulous huge air conditioned restaurant and then afternoon show at 2.30pm in the town square, galloping horse, bank robbery and Cowboy shootout , again fabulous long show that had everything, even a stuntman fall from one of the balconies. Vito and Ricardo and the other Cowboys and all the beautiful well trained horses were true professionals, with obvious great bond between the horses and the Cowboys and could easily have starred with Clint Eastwood in the original Spaghetti Westerns.

Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the day and can’t wait to go back to Fort Bravo Texas Hollywood ! Gift shop was also superb with Cowboy Hats and gun belts etc for sale and all at amazing reasonable prices.

Great place , great experience yeeehaaah!

Fabulous day out in the Tabernas Desert , Almeria

A really fun day out, a very nice lunch and a great show in the bar. We really enjoyed strolling round the town and soaking up the atmosphere.

We stopped near Almerìa specifically to experience the Tabernas Desert as a location for the Spaghetti Westerns. Fort Bravo is just off the desert, but nevertheless was a great experience. Some reviews are very unkind, grow up folks, it is what it is, a FORMER, film set. There’s plenty to l”see and plenty to imagine. We saw them practicing for the outdoor show, but didn’t see it. The saloon show was great. My Spanish is very basic, but I enjoyed the 40 minutes of script, ad libitum and correction by the actors😀probably some paraphrasing going on too. How would it end? That was the question. Whether twas a blood bath or song and dance, who could know, No alcohol was wasted and the drinks thrown at the actors were clearly done in a humanitarian way, no drink was hurt in the process. Nothing was wasted. Thank you. A great time was had by Hall (me/us🤣)

Was a great experience. The shows were in Spanish and our Spanish is poor but it didn’t matter they were so entertaining! The photo dress up was so much fun! Definitely recommend!

Excellent value for money, a real treat especially for 'spaghetti western' fans.

The saloon provides the main source of entertainment with 'Can can dancers' and a gun fight.

Although it is all conducted in spanish its easy to follow, the gun fire can startle you a little.

Quite out of the way , as you would expect, but well worth a visit and easy to find with sat nav.

The 'action' begins promptly at 12 noon so ensure your there on time.

Brilliant day such good fun the cowgirls were ok but the cowboys so funny. The horses and donkeys were well taken care of. Food was also ok.

Really good day out the can can girls could have been a little bit happier but the cowboys were amazing great fun lots of add libbing we really enjoyed
