Thanks to Alex Mendibil, the creator of the EL FRANCONOMICON blog and FACEBOOK page, for discovering and posting these images and this information about a favorite Jess Franco shooting location from the mid 1960s onward. I'm copying it over here with Alex's permission for our blog readers. As he notes, films such as THE GIRL FROM RIO, VAMPYROS LESBOS, MIL SEXOS TIENE LA NOCHE. and many others, had various interiors and exterior scenes shot in the clubs, hallways, patios, cafes, shopping centers, hotel rooms/balconies, swimming areas, shops and lobbies of this complex. I'll be posting more on this location, which in in Murcia.[RM}

One of the most used locations in Jess Franco universe found at last!
The first town planning and infrastructure works were carried out in two phases:
- Phase 1 (1963-1964) : Work begins on the Gran Vía, the adjacent road or Cubanitos Bungalows Type III, Screen Studies, Urbanization Marysol, Jupiter Tower, Bungalows Type I and II, and Quinta Avenida, Miramar and Set Hex Complex, known as Black Tower, which was a milestone in the Region of Murcia because it offered a new way of life, through a second home to enjoy a great vacation.
- Phase 2 (1964-1965) : the Bungalows Type I and II, Screen Studies were completed and the works of the type III Bungalows, Hotel Entremares and Entremares Mall began.

In 1966, after the inauguration of Entremares Hotel was built an
outdoors cinema, and next to the hexagonal towers, the Café- Restaurant
"The Clubbing" was opened. Between Gran Via and Hotel Entremares was
opened a shopping center with the same name, and about the same time the
Club Nautico de La Manga, the restaurant Dos Mares, Navarra Tower and
in the east end, the Hotel Galúa.
Las primeras obras urbanísticas e infraestructuras realizadas se llevaron a cabo en dos fases:
- Fase 1 (1963-1964): Comienzan las obras de la Gran Vía, viales adyacentes de los Cubanitos o Bungalows Tipo III, Estudios Pantalla, Urbanización Marysol, Torre Júpiter, Bungalows Tipo I y II, Urbanización Quinta Avenida y Conjunto Miramar y la Urbanización Conjunto Exagonal, conocida como Torre Negra, que supuso un hito en la Región de Murcia ya que ofrecía un nuevo sistema de vida, a través de la segunda residencia para disfrutar de unas excelentes vacaciones.
- Fase 2 (1964-1965): Se finalizaron los Bungalows Tipo I y II, los Estudios Pantalla y se comenzaron las obras de los Bungalows Tipo III, del Hotel Entremares y del Centro Comercial Entremares.
En 1966, tras la inauguración del Hotel Entremares se construyó enfrente un cine de verano (al aire libre), y junto a las torres hexagonales se abrió el Café-restaurante “La Parranda”. Entre la Gran Vía y el Hotel Entremares nació un centro comercial con el mismo nombre y, casi al mismo tiempo el Club Náutico de La Manga, el Restaurante Dos Mares, la Torre Navarra y en el extremo Este, el Hotel Galúa.

[After reading this I revisited Franco's 1968, TWO UNDERCOVER ANGELS, in which this scene appears featuring a view of a large swimming pool which looks very much like the one pictured in the complex in the above photos]
