It's been restored & if I remember correctly, they have services there now. <br /><br />I was reading a book on Charles Bronson & several of the westerns in which he appeared in the late 60's & early 70's were also shot in Almeria, Spain. Bronson turned down Leone twice & was quoted as saying when Leone offered him "Once Upon a Time in the West", he took it as he had noticed the parts he had turned down were in films that did very well around the world so he decided not to make the mistake 3 times. It didn't say which parts he turned down but I think they were parts Lee got in the two Leone films he did. Henry Fonda turned them down too. Clint Eastwood also mentions on the extra DVD for For a Few Dollars More that Leone wanted Henry Fonda for Lee Van Cleef's part but couldn't get Fonda. I've read Henry Fonda was one of Leone's favorite actors. When Lee was invited to come to Leone's hotel room in LA to talk about the job in For A Few Dollars More, Leone saw him coming out of the window dressed in a rain coat, western hat & boots. Leone said he looked fantastic & told his associate "give him the money. I don't want to talk to him. I may change my mind if i do".
