"Verano Azul" (''Blue Summer'') was a Spanish TV series that was filmed from 1979 to 1980, then aired from late 1981 to early 1982. It had 19 one-hour long episodes and was aired in TVE (Televisión Española), becoming a massive hit almost immediately. It's still very well-loved in Spain and fondly recalled in Latin America.
The series starts when seven Spanish kids (Beatriz/Bea and her brother Tito, Javi, Desi, Manolito/Piraña and Quique) go spend their summer vacations with their families in [[http://wikitravel.org/en/Costa_del_Sol the Costa del Sol ("Coast of the Sun/Sun Coast'')]]. The specific location [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield is never fully disclosed]]), but the series itself was shot in [[http://wikitravel.org/en/Nerja Nerja]] (Málaga province) plus some shoots in Motril and [[http://wikitravel.org/en/Almunecar Almuñecar (Granada province)]]. As they arrive there they befriend a local boy named Pancho, an old sailor nicknamed Chanquete, and a lonely painter named Julia who has just arrived to the place as well. Together, the group starts living life at its fullest...
!!Verano Azul has many tropes, including these:
* BeachTropes: The series is basically a ComingOfAgeStory [[BeachEpisode that happens in a beach city]]...
* BigEater: Manolito aka Piraña (Piranha), who is even seen eating in the opening!
*BigFancyHouse: Both Desi and Javi's families rent quite the beach houses in the village, specially compared with the middle-class flats rented by Bea/Tito's and Piraña's.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Not only Chanquete dies and this depresses the kids a lot, but the summer ends and everyone save for Pancho has to go back home.]]
* BrokenBird: Julia has more than one trace of this, [[spoiler: since she lost her husband and son in terrible circumstances.]]
* CoolOldGuy: Chanquete, and how.
* ComingOfAgeStory: For the teens and children in the cast, who learn many things about themselves and others.
* DeathByNewberyMedal: [[spoiler: Chanquete]] fits through and through, as [[spoiler: he's a CoolOldGuy who suddenly falls victim to a heart illness right as the summer ends.]]
* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler: Chanquete's funeral, attended by everyone.]]
* FanGirl: Desi and Bea are fans of the IdolSinger Bruno, who once drops by the village for a video shooting and is swarmed by fangirls. [[spoiler: He turns out to be a StepfordSmiler LonelyRichKid and tells this to Chanquete.]]
* ForeShadowing: [[spoiler: Chanquete's health fails him at some point. Five episodes later, he dies.]]
* FromTheMouthOfBabes: Tito and Piraña, as the youngest kids, often made too many questions
* TheGenericGuy: Quique is rather plain, compared with the more colorful other kids
* GreyRainOfDepression: Julia's ADayInTheLimelight starts with her getting VERY depressed as it rains [[spoiler: because her husband and daughter died in a rainy day two years ago.]]
* HelloNurse: Bea, and how. Many guys are entranced by her looks.
* InterGenerationalFriendship: Chanquete (50/60's), Julia (probably late 30's/early 40's), and the kids (more or less in the 7 to 16 age range)
* ItWashisSled: [[spoiler: Chanquete's death almost at the end]] is the most iconic scene in the series. It's so well known that it was proposed as the Spanish TropeNamer for the trope itself in this very Wiki!
* LocalHangout: Chanquete's home, which is actually an old boat remade into a house.
* LoveTriangle: The pretty Bea is courted by Pancho and Javi, and that's a point of friction between the two more than once.
* MouthyKid: Piraña tended to have no brain-to-mouth filter, probably because he's a little kid and doesn't really know better.
* {{Meganekko}}: Bea's best friend Desi is very cute and uses glasses
* NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted, since a whole episode is dedicated to Beatriz getting hers
* [[ParentalMarriageVeto Parental Dating Veto]]: Happens to Bea, when she falls for an older boy named Rafael.
* ParentalSubstitute: Pancho lives with his uncle and aunt and works in their dairy products store. It's never explained why his parents ain't around.
* ParentsAsPeople: The kids have lots of problems with their parents, specially Javi with his {{workaholic}} and very authoritatian dad and Desi with her divorced parents. There's a whole episode with the moms and dads asking Chanquete for help to bond with their children, even.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Chanquete and Julia aren't romantically interested in each other (plus [[spoiler: Julia is a WidowWoman who's still grieving]]).
* SceneryPorn: Since the series is set in an area known for its breath-taking beaches...
* SliceOfLife: With kids, their families and others living their lives in a Spanish summer
* TeamDad - TeamMom: Chanquete and Julia, respectively, who take turns at counseling the children
* TeenPregnancy: Javi meets a girl named Eva, who has just been abandoned by her boyfriend because she's pregnant [[GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion and doesn't want to abort the kid.]] Chanquete, Julia and the gang decide to help her.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Piraña and Tito
* VerySpecialEpisode: The series was shot/aired in the Spain of TheEighties, which was just out of Franco's decades-long dictatorship. As such it was particularly {{anvilicious}} in it's introduction of themes like TeenPregnancy, divorce, gangs, etc.
* VisitByDivorcedDad: Happens to Desi, when her dad drops by in the village.
