Just up the road from me in Coin, this is a couple of photos from the set built by the BBC for the series Eldorado, It's a sort of ghost town now and only maintained as a tourist attraction, there are chalets next to it for rent, a hotel, restaurant and a cinema complex, It's a really nice place for a quiet holiday.

This only looks like a church there is nothing behind it.

I remember it (sadly). I think it was one of BBC's biggest flops. Nice architecture, terrible acting. Just shows how concrete and glass can be made to look good.

I remember it as well .. total flop that cost a fortune.

I also remember that sunshine from my days in Spain .. only left 5 months ago and it seems like forever.

Bloody miserable gloomy country the UK is ...

My favourite soap opera by far. I cried when they scrapped it. Mind you, I thought Waterworld was a great movie. Nice shots, by the way, Jackitec. Thanks for the memories.
