Aha thanks, I have been āgoogle-maps-trevellingā there before in search for another SW location maybe a year or so ago. I will try to see if I can recognise some hillsā¦
Sometimes the moviemakers are cheating though and one imaginary location is defined by 2 (or more ?) completely different real ones 
From Western locations Spain - there are many pictures from the general area, but scroll down to find one of the fort.
I think I found it now, below on google street view, that is the view seen from the supposed fort looking at the āenemyā riders approaching after 53 minutes into the film.
In the foreground then the fort should have been located, and as indicated in your link at Las Espertinas which is nearly 4 km SSE of Ciempozuelos pueblo. My screenshot is a very very amateurish one by my laptop camera. The link below the photo is the supposed corresponding street view. (You seem nowadays not to be able to directly link efficiently to google maps views, so one has to copy link below and paste it ).

At least the hills in the background match very well. (The proposed Tabernas location wasnāt that bad, but no match completelyā¦)
So for the record I should clarify that the ranch was not exactly located where there are some buildings now just north of Carretera Guadalix, but instead nearly 800 meters at the south of them and therefore also south of the same road.
It is thoroughly described here :
There I plan to run in the area some time in the future. The weather in Comenar Viejo seems statistically to be convenient either in June or September, if you prefer running in shorts
About the movie after my second watching I agree with the review Fifteen Scaffolds for a Killer Review - The Spaghetti Western Database
ā¦even if I also find the story rather boring and with silly characters such as the one played by George Martin. The most interesting was the studying of the SW locations.
I rate this as a 5/10, watchable but not so good, and not in my top 50 (around 70 of all 80+ SW that I have watched so far).
This movieās page in the database has been updated to the new layout. Please report any errors, or submit texts, links, facts or images.
The Spanish DVD is widescreen, but non anamorphic ā¦ 2.35x1 image inside a 4.3 frame ā¦ better picture quality than the Wild East release, which is very very dark.

I think this one could have been good if the storytelling had been compressed to make it perhaps 20 minutes shorter. One character knows who the killer is the whole time, and another one knows it for the second half of the movie, and yet they donāt bother to bring it up until the end!
Just finished this one for the first time. Good looking print on Tubi but found the flick pretty dreadfulā¦nothing really pulls you in. Lackluster storytelling and direction that was all over the place. Film felt very uneven and forced after the first half an hour. I know some like this one though.

For me it is an interesting one, a good one.
I wanted to like it and it has been on my watch list like forever but something just didnāt click for me. I much preferred And the Crows will Dig your Grave with Craig Hill that I watched a few weeks ago as I thought that was really solid.

After a couple of very tepid Craig Hill spaghetti westerns recently (Bury Them Deep / And the Crows Will Dig Your Grave), I was hoping this one would be better, especially considering the unique story. I was wrong.
2.5/10. Tempted to give it a 3 or 3.5 but after sleeping on it and writing the below, I canāt see how I can go above 2.5 here. Maybe Iām being a bit harsh but Iām struggling to see any positives.
Watched the long version - it was too long. Each scene seemed to overstay its welcome. The fistfights, gunfights, riding the horses through the desert (my goodness we got alot of those), everything really.
Far too many bodies and horses involved (not surprised the credits page hasnāt been done on this, it would take months). I think this was the first SW where I came away not liking any of the characters, none of them had any redeeming qualities. At times I felt like the audience were being targetted to start liking some of the gang members but they were all just awful. It all just felt awkward, thatās the one word Iād use to sum this film up. The story was awkward, the editing, the dialogue, the pacing (opening 15 or so minutes especially - very little introduction material or background), some of the naivety and general stupidity of the characters, the ending (what the hell was the attempted rape part? George Martinās character casually jumps on the red haired lady and everybody is smiling again 8 minutes later?).
Iām not somebody to cry over this either but I felt like the filmmakers wanted to make a spectacle of some of the horse action sequences, there were several horses that ended up taking rough tumbles and I got the impression it was a badge of honour of some kind.
I put Susy Andersenās dubbing / voice over in the kind of Russia/Irish direction. Sounded like a lady that was Eastern European but had lived in Ireland for many years and picked up traces of the accent.
I need to get back to some Robert Woods after thatā¦

I canāt understand how anyone can have a āproblemā with this film, and in a similar breath praise Fidani crap and the like, with high marks more in keeping with the top tier 3 Sergios ā¦ but, each to their own.

Haha, well Fidaniās Coffin Full of Dollars is keeping this one good company right at the bottom of my ratings list at the moment!

Itās just an observation ā¦ as I really enjoyed ā15 Scaffoldsā from itās over the top Raoul sung theme music, to itās dynamic cast of familiar solid actors, and great use of many top Spanish locations.
It ticks a lot of boxes for me ā¦ I even saw it has a rare hidden gem, so itās interesting to me that quite a few are underwhelmed by the film.
