Verano azul

I grew up with this series too. In Bulgaria it was such a success that the Bulgarian National TV repeated it five or six times. We all loved it. I remember all the kids from the neighbourhood playing "Verano Azul" day after day without getting bored or anything of the kind. Of course, all the girls were in love with "Javi" /Juan Jose Artero/ and "Pancho" /Jose Luis Fernandez/. I wish I could see or meet them now. Them and all of the cast. For me "Verano Azul" is the best film for children ever made. It portrays every important moment and every significant value in a child's life. I wish I could see the series again. In the meantime I can only say: "Gracias, chicos! Habeis sido estupendos! Os quiero y os quiero conocer para agradecerles de todo corazon todos los momentos felizes que me regalasteis! Un monton de besos!"

Yes,it was great,that The Bulgarian TV showed it.It is true that this was something very different from the other films we had seen.It was the only story of its kind for the puberty then.We did not use to see films from Western Europe and they were not supposed to show,that life went normally in the West.I still remember the scene when Javi was made to dive in a pool with all his clothes by two nasty behaving girls and then he took off all of his clothes,even his speedos as a protest,and then he was punished by his father,who called him an "exhibitionist".We have never thought of such kind of protest and I remember we commented this scene even in class and the teachers told,that that came from the Western manner of life.Yeah,we commented the film and liked all the actors.A day or two ago I heard the song from the film and it made me drop a tear for my own childhood,which I will ever connect with these series.

I grew up with this series. As time goes by, I have revisited many of the shows I used to love as a child, only to wonder: "What on earth was I thinking wasting my time watching this?!" Not so with this show. It is nostalgic, beautiful, enduring and has a quality of truth that spans the decades. I still love it as much as ever.

Each of the children will reflect you at one point in your life or other. Worth watching if you have the chance.

Ijust watched the very first episode of Verano Azul again.I'm also Bulgarian, nd I'm not surprised to see other Bulgarian comments posted here. Indeed the series were tremendous success and everyone who remember them still love them. I'm younger than most of the grown up children from that generation, but I still have a slight memory about those days. Everything was different then and it seems to me that people were happier then. The series are part of our childhood and that's why we all love them so much (among with some Bulgarian movies and TV series like Voinata na Taralejite - "Hedgehogs' War", or Vasko daGama ot selo Rupcha) Verano Azul contains a great variety of characters, all of them so real, that after a few minutes you feel like you know them. And the series are suitable for just everyone. My parents also remember them, and even my grandparents.

It was great to read the other comments here. It's good to know that so many people from different countries still remember Verano Azul. This means that those marvelous days are not forgotten and pieces of our childhood still live in our souls.

This serial's part of my most pleasant memories from childhood. I saw it just once, I was about 8 at that time (1982), when it was broadcasted here in Yugoslavia. I strongly remember the great, warm atmosphere of Spanish coast, sweet old fisherman, nice, tender smile of Maria Garralon (but when I saw her recently in "Companeros", of course I couldn't connect her with that young teacher from "Verano Azul", it was just IMDb that brought me to it by her name). I remember that it had been broadcasted on Sundays at 1 PM and that I cried when it was finished.!Ojala! if I could see it once again!
