The "Barranco del Cautivo" is located in the Tabernas desert and departs from the parking lot of "Mini-Hollywood". This gritty area of gritty rock, as well as the western-style film villages surrounding it, has been the scene of some blockbuster hits such as Once upon a time in the West, Zorro, The Good, the bad and the ugly and Asterix & Obelix.

Tabernas Oasis

Highlight • Natural

The dry river bed, which serves as our path, does not carry much water even in rainy seasons. The barren environmental conditions of the desert with over 3,000 hours of sunshine, average temperatures of more than 17 degrees and precipitation below 250mm per year make plants and animals true survival artists.

The vegetation consists only of scattered shrubs and grasses.
But even palm trees grow here. The oasis was the scene of famous films and served u.a. "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Indian Jones" as backdrop. Yes, here you can taste the wild west air!
Numerous film companies use the dramatic scenery of the Tabernas Desert with their bizarre rock formations as a location. The spaghetti westerns in the 1970s were also shot here as well as e.g. the films "The Shoe of the Manitu", "Game of Thrones" or "Conan the Barbarian".
There are many secrets and lots of life in this ancient sea basin.

Desert canyon views

Highlight • Canyon

The views of the canyons in the Tabernas Desert are truly breathtaking. This desert, known to be the only one in Europe, offers arid landscapes and unique geological formations that have been sculpted by erosion over the years.
