Explore the Hollywood Magic of Oasys: A Spanish Western Theme Park Just 30 Minutes From Roquetas de Mar

Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly filmed in the Tabernas Desert, just outside Roquetas de Mar.

If you've ever dreamed of riding into a dusty frontier town, tipping your hat to the sheriff, and witnessing a thrilling shootout under the blazing sun, then you don’t need to book a ticket to the American West—you just need to visit Oasys Mini Hollywood in the heart of Almería, Spain. Once the backdrop for legendary Hollywood Westerns, this Spanish desert town is now an immersive theme park where visitors can experience life on the frontier, complete with cowboy duels, cancan dancers, and sprawling desert landscapes that have made cinema history.

A Hollywood Legacy in Spain’s Wild West

Believe it or not, some of the greatest Spaghetti Westerns of all time were not filmed in the U.S., but right here in the Tabernas Desert, just outside Roquetas de Mar. In the 1960s and ‘70s, Hollywood directors, drawn by the desert’s uncanny resemblance to the American Southwest, transformed this quiet corner of Spain into the setting for iconic films like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, For a Few Dollars More, and A Fistful of Dollars. Yes, you heard that right—Clint Eastwood himself once strode these very streets, revolver in hand, steely-eyed and ready for a duel.

Originally built as a film set, Mini Hollywood evolved into a permanent theme park once the Western film era began to fade. Today, it’s a place where visitors can step back in time and immerse themselves in the world of outlaws, saloons, and old-time shootouts.

This isn’t just a museum or a film set frozen in time—it’s a fully interactive experience where the Wild West is brought to life daily. Here’s are just a few of the experiences that await you:

Live Western Shows and Stunt Performances

Every day, gun-slinging cowboys put on thrilling reenactments of classic shootouts, bringing the dusty streets to life with action-packed duels, daring horseback chases, and dramatic stand-offs. The shows are fast-paced, exciting, and full of Hollywood-style action that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.

The Saloon and Cancan Shows

No Wild West experience is complete without a visit to a good old-fashioned saloon. Grab a drink, take a seat, and enjoy an energetic cancan dance performance just like they did in the days of the Old West. The performers in their bright, ruffled dresses twirl and kick to lively music, making it an absolute must-see.

Walk in the Footsteps of Movie Legends

One of the biggest draws of Mini Hollywood is the chance to walk through the same streets where legendary films were made. The town still looks like it did in its Hollywood heyday, with authentic wooden storefronts, a sheriff’s office, an old bank, and even a gallows for those who didn’t obey the law! Movie buffs will love spotting locations featured in famous scenes, and you can even pose for old-time Western photos to take home as a souvenir.

A Surprising Twist: The Oasys Zoo

While the Western town steals the show, Mini Hollywood has another surprise waiting—a wildlife park! Yes, amid the gunslingers and saloons, you’ll also find a zoo with over 800 animals, including giraffes, tigers, zebras, and exotic birds. The zoo offers a stark contrast to the arid desert landscape and is a great addition for families visiting with kids.
