      FOREWORD

      I hate being labeled a tourist. The word brings to mind tour buses and large groups of strangers clogging up roadways and obscuring views.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure we’ve all gone sightseeing and visited those ‘must-see places’ recommended by even the most general of guidebooks. Those ‘must-see places’ have an importance and are well-worth seeing, but there is something uniquely exhilarating about diverging from the beaten path to make your own ‘discoveries.’ It is those ‘discoveries’ that we remember most.

      Our thirst for knowledge and interest in other places and peoples often takes us into uncharted territory. The Museion, built in ancient Alexandria, Egypt, was an institute founded to expand our knowledge and dedicated to the Muses, the sister goddesses of art, poetry, literature, philosophy and music. The Museyon Guides were created as an expression of that same endeavour. Unique in their format, the Museyon Guides are written for those who are ready to detour and experience culture through their own interests and obsessions.

      The first of the Museyon Guides, The Museyon Guide: Film+Travel, takes off across Europe discovering those picture-perfect scenes from movies we all know and love. Visit Sergio Leone’s wild west in Andalusia, Spain, or head to the Gulf of Naples and the island of Procida to discover the post office in Il Postino. By taking the leap to travel to these destinations we discover that the backdrop of these films provides a gateway into a country and culture that is often overlooked.

      Meticulously researched from every angle by film reviewers, producers, directors and location specialists, Museyon will transform your relationship with film and change the way you travel.

      I hope to see you on location.

      LANDSCAPES OF IMAGINATION: CINEMATIC LEGACY

      SPAIN

      A typical trip to Spain entails boarding a train in France to cross the Pyrenees and taking a city-dotted tour of well-worn cultural hotspots. Barcelona’s dizzying Sagrada Familia, Madrid’s Prado museum, and the Moorish architecture of Seville are de rigueur, with perhaps a jaunt north to San Sebastian’s old city in quaint, seaside Basque country and a possible stopover in Pamplona, bulls or no. Then it’s back to Paris for the return flight home.

      While a fine itinerary, this plan rushes through much of what makes Spain Spanish. From the rocky green Pyrenees to the spiky mountains of Extremadura, to the parched plains of La Mancha, which fired the imagination of Cervantes’s Don Quixote, and the undulating deserts of Andalusia, Spain offers a remarkable and varied geography. Often only glimpsed by passengers through a moving train’s windows, these landscapes are familiar to anyone with an interest in cinema. They just might not know they were looking at Spain.

      Long shots of the taciturn, poncho-draped Clint Eastwood facing down danger in unforgiving terrain are perhaps the most enduring images of the American West. Yet they were filmed in Spain’s southern province of Andalusia. Sergio Leone’s famed spaghetti western trilogy (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) was shot in and around the arid

      Desierto de Tabernas, laced by the Sierra de Los Filabres and by the beaches of the Costa del Sol. The famous circular duel in For a Few Dollars More (and in Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West) was shot near Los Albaricoques (meaning apricots), a town offering easy access to the well-maintained coastal preserve of Cabo de Gata.

      Cortijo Los Frailes in Cabo de Gata played the monastery where Tuco’s brother nurses Blondie back to health in The Good the Bad and the Ugly. While Tuco taunted the recovering Blondie to give up the name on
