Where is san venganza?

Answer 1

Well, the best guess would be in southwest Texas, somewhere along the Rio Grande'. This is based upon the following assumptions: the biggest part of the Ghost Rider movie takes place in Texas, primarily in the DFW metro area (the movie never says which city it takes place in, but you see plenty of Don't Mess with Texas signs, and other tip offs), and in the novelization of the movie, it out and out says that Johnny Blaze's loft is in Fort Worth and he is arrested by Dallas PD. When Blaze and Carter Slade ride towards San Veganza, they are headed into a much dryer looking part of the state, which would preclude Eastern Texas and even the Houston area. Also, in the preface to the GR novel, San Veganza was stated to be a former Spanish fort that was later settled by Anglo immigrants from the US, so this would seem to keep it in Texas. There are several lakes around the South West part of Texas, but no ghost towns, and the extensive bog that Johnny has to ride through to get to San Veganza would seem to indicate that there was enough water there to keep a permanent level for a bog or swamp around the town.

In reality, most of the swamps in Texas are along the Texas/Louisiana state line, but a real swamp in Australia, where they shot the GR movie, was the inspiration for the site of San Veganza.
