This has been the reason why access to Fuente Caputa these past days has been restricted, and that is that, from August 26 to 28, our emblematic place has been the scene of the filming of a Western, whose bulk of the recording is being taking place in the province of Almería.One of the objectives that the Department of Culture has set itself in this legislature is to recover Mula and its locations as a setting for film shoots.
Therefore, for several months, the Councilor for Culture has been in contact with different national and international production companies promoting Mula as a suitable place for the film industry, since this sector can provide multiple benefits in the municipality.After different conversations with those in charge of the production in previous weeks, part of the filming has been brought to Mula, with Fuente Caputa being the chosen space, where it should be noted that the environment and the conservation of the environment have been respected and cared for at all times.

Likewise, all kinds of anti-COVID precautions have been guaranteed by the producer.Due to this activity, almost a hundred people including technical team, actors and operators have passed through our municipality these days, with what this represents for the hotel and restaurant economic sector and in which the hiring of qualified local personnel has prevailed for request of the City Council to the organization, with several Muleños who have collaborated in matters of safety, climbing, mounting and diving.The Department of Culture, Services and Citizen Security have been working closely with the production team at all times, achieving a satisfactory relationship of cooperation and coordination.Diego Boluda, Councilor for Culture, who has visited the filming set, has stated that “this type of activity is good for the economy, tourism and culture of Mula.
I ask the citizens for their understanding for not having previously communicated the reasons for the restriction of access to the site, but there has been a confidentiality commitment at the request of the producer, to avoid the agglomeration of onlookers who entered the place and hinder the preparation and filming."He adds that “we are going to continue working in this line, in fact, I have already been in contact with production companies that work for Netflix and Amazon and have visited our city, showing interest in our municipality by learning about the uniqueness and beauty of its corners.
We are very satisfied to get these activities carried out because of the importance they have.
Specifically, the team that has been in Mula these days has worked on well-known projects such as Spiderman (2018), Game of Thrones (4 seasons), Narcos (2019) or Terminator Dark Fate (2019).
