Great work… I’ve wanted to know where the cemetary was for ages. A lot of work went into it for the film. Thanks for the info and the link to the modern day pictures is brilliant

The coordinates quoted by Robert above in this thread are actually off by almost fifty kilometers. However, I’ve got the correct ones thanks to the general coordinates from this thread, plus a little comparison to the overhead photos:
http://www.fistful-of-leone.com/forums/index.php?topic=5968.0
Here’s the precise center of the cemetery (barely visible in Google Maps, easily visible if you zoom in using the Visor SigPac tool linked from this thread):
41º 59′ 25.86″ N, 3º 24′ 30.64″ W
(41.990517, -3.408511 if you prefer decimal)
…and here’s the POW camp (very easily seen in both Google Maps and the Visor SigPac tool):
41º 58′ 21.31″ N 3º 21′ 39.59″ W
(41.972586, -3.360997 if you prefer decimal)

visited the location last week-go to contreras near sallas de los infantes then find dirt track out of town past church signposted silo 6 Km. Follow for about 3 Km and you find a signpost with a cows skull and a stone plaque with leone on it. You walk about 50-100 metres into field and in bowl shaped depression are one or two wooden crosses. much greener than in film but it was november. photos on facebook under valencia trip but was cloudy and foggy so not very good

I once looked up the cemetery, thinking the name was sand hill. Could it be? Anyway, there are several cemeteries called Sand Hill.
