Verano azul

Encyclopedia : V : VE : VER : Verano azul

Verano azul (Blue Summer) was a famous Spanish television show from 1981 directed by Antonio Mercero. It tells of the adventures of a few teenage friends while on summer vacation in Nerja, a small town in the Costa del Sol, southern Spain. The series, with episodes that drew up to 20 million viewers in Spain, has been rerunned almost every summer since then and has left a deep impact on several generations and has become part of Spain's common memory. The series was also broadcast in Latin America, in Portugal and in some non-Latin-speaking countries like Croatia and Bulgaria.

For Bulgarians born in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Verano Azul introduced certain serious teen themes that were otherwise never seen on a Totalitarian TV, such as hippie lifestyle and the death of close friends. Even in the 2000s, chance encounters between Spaniards and Bulgarians erupt in happy shouting at the mention of Verano Azul.
