Villanueva de Carazo is a municipality located in the province of Burgos, Castile and León, Spain. According to the 2004 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 30 inhabitants.
About 16 kilometres (10 mi) northwest, over a steep mountain range, lies a valley in which the climactic cemetery scene in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was filmed. There are a few signs attesting to this, and the site is popular among tourists.
