Almeria Leone locations

[redrum]

Cannot recommend Richard of Tuco Tours in Almeria enough for our recent trip visit the locations used by Leone and crew in the Almeria area. Stayed at the Gran Hotel Almeria a nice clean place and the same as used by the crew, Almeria itself is an unspoilt non-touristy city full of treasures like the train station used in FOD. Fantastic tapas at the Casa Peruga is without doubt one of the best food places you will visit in Spain and cheap too. Now for the really good bit the tours which Richard can tailor to your individual needs or interests. We did all the dollar film locations and there were lots without boring you some of these places are etched in your memory and on revisiting it is difficult not to both instantly recognise the location and also be moved. Richard is a thoughtful, knowledgable guy who has done the most thorough research. All locations are documented and proven and he has albums with him of then and now pics etc. To stand at Tucumcari is awesome, Cattle Corner (found a railway sleeper bolt from the original track) is great and there are too may highlights to list, notable are Father Ramirez`s Mission and the exact spot where Tuco cut the chains that tied him to Wallace. This is a blatant plug but visit TucoTours.com and go for yourself none of you will be disappointed and I will be returning, The Stevens ranch is eerily quiet and what struck me most when standing in the stone corrida from FAFDM was how the actors must have had to stand there in silence taking direction in such a quiet place whilst trying to convey the tension of a building climax which just shows all the more what genius Leone was. He knew what he was doing and what these scenes would convey with the Maestro`s music laid on the track. Go for it!

Thanks Redrum. Is there any chance you will be posting some of your fine
photos?

[redrum]

Yes Geoman no problem with that can you tell me how to upload photos and video? I am a bit rubbish with computers!

For photos you need to join a free image hoster such as:

I've found Photobucket very user friendly and it'll handle small videos as well.  For larger videos I'd recommend either Youtube or Rapidshare.

Yeah, photobucket works with no problem. But with imageshack I couldn't post pictures here (I'm no wizard with computers though).

Photobucket is great. Very user-friendly indeed.

Imageshack I wouldn't recommend, it's way too complicated.
