Happy New Year, and a look ahead at 2016!

Happy New Year!

The LVC Blog will continue with weekly Saturday updates throughout the year.  Truth be told there are already enough entries written and scheduled to take us into mid-2017, but I am sure there will be new things to report as the year progresses!

Here is a tease on what is to come in 2016....

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly: 50th Anniversary

We will continue to celebrate Sergio Leone's masterpiece throughout the upcoming year.  There will be a special section devoted to it on the website in the spring.  Things will get kicked off with a special 6 part blog series featuring some rarely seen photos!  ...as teased below...

Continued Location Reports

2015 was another great year of Spanish travel, and with the new reports just starting in November of 2015, there are still 20 location reports that will be published bi-weekly in 2016

 

Continued Blu-ray Updates

With 2015 bringing us 7 brand new LVC blu-rays, no doubt 2016 will continue with fresh HD material, which will be updated and reviewed here.



 

Happy New Year!

 

Location: Nijar - El Condor Bar

Just outside of Los Albaricoques, and next to the exterior of Steven's Ranch from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, are the remains of the bar used to introduce us to LVC's character of Jaroo in El Condor.

The structure itself is in terrible shape, much of which seems to sadly be a recent development (based on comparisons with Google Street View).  Below are some screencap comparisons.  What a difference 45 years makes!
