Fort Bravo Entrance Ticket

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

Fort Bravo was a very good time spent for anyone who loves western or cowboy films. The 2 shows were good, the outside show in particular was fantastic. bar the 2 shows which lasted 30-45 mins each, you got a free carriage ride with the ticket paid, and you could purchase as horse ride for 15 mins approx 10 euro or 30 mins approx 20 euros. After walking around the site that took about 15-20 mins, and having your photo taken dressed up there wasn't much else to do. It be great if there were people dressed up walking around or things like a blacksmith, jailhouse, undertakers like in the films or even being able to dress up and walk around the site. However overall it is an experience I would highly recommend

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🤣)
