Comparison photo 2006 - The good times are over. Today there is a new modern bridge for the Speedway next to the old one and only a very few cars find their way over the old bridge. If you want to find some interesting Movie Locations you should take the old bridge! |

| German Lobby Cards - Stacy Keach is fighting with a tank near Albaricoques (Almeria). | |
|
Shooting comparison photos around Albaricoques and in the entire Campo de Dalias makes no real fun. The Area changed dramatically over the years. Movie Locations lost in a plastic world! The "Mar Plastico" is producing cheap vegetables for Europe and the World. |

| German Lobby Card - The Sand Dunes of Cabo de Gata are another "Il grande attacco" location. See our report here: Dunas de Cabo | |

| Comparison photo April 2011 - Timber! - The large Palm trunk is laying in the desert. | |
|
|
| The little Oasis pond was not natural. If you look around you will find pieces of plastic foil peeping out of the sand like on my photo from 2005. | In 2005 the trunk was still standing - Bare but proud! |
