Le bel été

This show was aired in Argentina somewhere around 1985 (can't recall the exact year). I totally loved it from the beginning and to the end. Being in Argentina I never got any information on the show other than what you see on the screen. There were no notes in the papers about it (that I remember at least) or anything else, so getting any info on the show was impossible. That was years before the Internet era of course. What a great surprise to find out now that it was a great success in Spain in it's day and that it is still remembered by many. What a great show, how much fun it was and what a great set of values it teached. Aguante Chanquete viejo y peludo, carajo!

I agree with the opinion above. Verano Azul was the best TV series for children broadcast in Bulgaria. We all loved it to bits. It was so sweet and innocent, just right for the age we were in. So different from what kids watch today. It's true we girls were all in love with Javi and Pancho and we were trying to impersonate the female actors. Every time it started on TV, the streets got empty, everybody was getting home to see it. We always watched it through the summer holidays so it was right for the mood. I'd love to be able to get back in time to watch this again. I'm also interested to find out how to purchase the series.

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.

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!"

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.
