Answer 4

Some were made at Souix City near Playa del Ingles in Gran Canaria , Spain.  This is a Western style tourist attraction with cowboys and Indians .

Answer 5

Near Tabernas Spain, a municipality of Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. It is also the name of the principal town of the municipality. Tabernas is on the edge of the famous Tabernas Desert, in which many feature films and TV series have been made. There is a modest tourist industry due to the presence of three film sets, Mini Hollywood, Decorados, and Rancho Leone.

A Fistful of Dollars was filmed there and many others.

Answer 6

Spaghetti Westerns were filmed in Italy.

Answer 7

The name "Spaghetti Western" has its origin in the fact that these cowboy movies were produced by italian film companies, although most of them were filmed around the desert of Tabernes in the province of Almería  in southeastern Spain.

This location was chosen for two main reasons:

One: The similarity of the landscape in this part of Spain to the area of southwestern USA, with hills and deserts, made the films more realistic.

Two:The expenses in that part of Spain were much less than any other possible location (back in the sixties and early seventies).

These movies stopped being filmed when the expenses became too high, and the "boom" fizzled out.

Some of the most famous films are those that featured and made a star of Clint Eastwood! (Such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly).
