Agost - Serra del Castellar - Serra de los Tajos

We celebrate the "Return of the Seven" and ride into the Desert of Agost for a magnificent Report about the unknown Locations. 
I was quite curious about the Locations as the only information I could find about them (Internet/Book) is just a name: AGOST. No Set photos, no details, nothing. 
The Discoverer in me awake and I planned my own expedition to find the Locations.
The summer was hot around Alicante and my Ride to Glory ends up in Hell Desert. 
I forgot my water, had the wrong shoes and finally after I got back to my car in the evening..this Korean Mule had a flat foot! 
Who cares, if you discovered the Location!

The place of the Set 2008 - On the right side you can see a dump which is full of old
Set pieces and material.
I remember Colbee (Warren Oates) saying that he found a sign with something "... del norte" on it!? Could this be the name of the Pueblo?
The Set, 1966
Typical Set pieces which you often find around old locations (remember Almeria!)!

Robert Fuller Yul Brynner
The first Sequel of "The Magnificent Seven" was quite successful in Germany. 
Robert Fuller was a very popular actor. He won different awards and even recorded a few Country and Western Songs in Germany in the 60ths. The CD was running the whole time during the work on this Story and now I can't stop singing the great "Hang my Hat out in the Prairie". 
It surprised me what a good job he made with this recordings. 
Recommended! He performed several Songs in german!!!

"The Return of the Factory" was probably not a great success as the building looks a bit like a ruin.
Agost is called the Town of the Potters. I saw deep clay mines and "new" hills.
