Location of Admiral Benbow Inn


Does anyone know the location of the building used as the inn in this version?

Spain. And probably a temporary set at that, seeing as an English hamlet will not be found anywhere in Spain.

Possible I suppose but seeing as the first location listed in the end credits is England I see no reason that it shouldn't have been a real building at least for the external shots, it seems to me that the time and expense of creating an outdoor set like this would be rather wasted considering there are quite literally hundreds of places around in England that would serve as an ideal location.
Thanks for your input.

Trivia actually suggests that it is in Italy, but I'd agree it was probably a temporary set. Every thing about this movie looks cheap.🐭
