Happy Easter to all of those celebrating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I\u00b4m writing to you from a beautiful village on the Mediterranean coast: Nerja<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Sea views from the garden at Nerja\u00b4s Parador)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u00b4s a place I keep very close to my heart, for several reasons. The main one is that a long time ago, when I was a teenager, my family and I came here once for an Easter holiday, and I loved it. I was looking forward to coming back and bringing my daughters with me. As we walked around, we got to remember their grandparents... <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, I knew that Nerja was a well known place, but I never imagined the amount of tourists that actually come here, and we found three Irish bars! Guinness, Tayto, beach and good weather - the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason why Nerja is well known is because the TV series Verano Azul<\/em>, a great success for Spanish television in the early eighties, was shot here (the title means \"Blue Summer\"). Verano Azul <\/em>is in the collective Spanish culture in the same way Father Ted<\/em> is in the collective Irish culture: absolutely everyone knows it. The kids in my generation (the ones who studied \"EGB\") grew up with this series; they replayed it on TV almost every summer, and years later, many of us watched it again with our children on video or DVD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the girls and I got excited today when we bumped into the statue of Chanquete (one of the main characters), and remembered a few scenes from the show, which in many ways was ahead of its time, touching topics that went quite deep and were even controversial. There was a phrase in particular that caught my attention back in the day; I still remember it every now and then: \"when you have, you give; when you need, you take\"<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about you? Did you ever watch Verano Azul<\/em>? What\u00b4s your favourite scene or song?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
