Mini-Hollywood is a theme park in Almería built around an old spaghetti-western film set. For the Tabernas Desert, the only true desert in Europe, was a major film location in the sixties. This is where Clint Eastwood began his film career!

There was a time, though, 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 Almería. 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.

Reserva Zoologica: The Wildlife park with Iberian and African Fauna with more of 100 species gathered in the park. At the entrance you will visit the Birds area with a collection of exotics birds. There is an assortment of more than 40 types of Reptilian; the Crocodile pond; the felines place and a funny zoo for children.
