Verano Azul 1979-1980
One of Antonio Mercero’s most significant series. This is a family drama set on the Andalusian coast, with the adventures of a group of youngsters on their summer holiday as the main theme.

The series was produced by TVE in the 1980s. Nineteen episodes were broadcast in Spain, where it enjoyed enormous success among the general public. It is considered to be one of the icons of Spanish popular culture and today children and adolescents from that time still remember the adventures of its protagonists.
