Where is the village built for the filming of Popeye?

With the development of tourism, now everyone can take a trip at any time, even going abroad is very convenient. Countries like Europe and Southeast Asia are places that we all often go to, but if Xiaobian talks about Malta, a European country, most people may still be unfamiliar, or even see this name for the first time.

Malta is a small country in southern Europe, with a land area of only 316 square kilometers, which is already a very small country among many countries. However, despite its small area, it is still a very developed country. In this Mediterranean island country, there is a very famous village whose name should be known to all.

The name of this village is Popeye Village. Everyone should have seen Popeye when he was a child. In the cartoon, Popeye, the hero, will become powerful after eating spinach, and he can always save the day at a critical time. After that, Popeye also made movies, and Popeye Village was specially built to make this movie.

This fairy-tale village is located in the northwest end of Malta. It took 165 workers seven months to build this village. In addition to folk houses, there are many shops in the village, such as barbershops, bakeries, shoemakers' shops, fish shops, and even post offices and cemeteries. You should remember these scenes.

At the beginning, after Popeye was filmed, the fairy tale village built by the crew was to be demolished. However, the local residents think that this village is a very good memorial and memory for this place, and the local government has also chosen to keep this village, so Popeye Village has been spared and has not been demolished.

Now, when you go to the village, you can also see the scenes in the movie, and some walls are still pasted with posters about the movie. Almost 95% of the whole movie was shot here, so you can see most of the scenes in the movie in the village. After the film was broadcast, it also attracted many tourists to Popeye Village.

The village built for the filming of Popeye has a ticket to 16 yuan today, but tourists say it's worth it!

At present, the ticket for Popeye Village is 2 euros, which is probably our 16 yuan, and it is a little expensive. However, some of the 2 euros are given to a charity fund set up in the name of the Popeye actor, as well as an explanation of playing in the village. A glass of red wine symbolizes the energy of spinach, and even includes postcards that are cruised to the sea and sent to all parts of the world for free. It is worthwhile to think about it.
