The print left by the show ‘Verano Azul’ still remains in Nerja, a village in the province of Malaga, nearly four decades after its shooting. Any viewer of the show can still visit the famous ship owned by Chanquete, “La Dorada”, although it is not the real one, but a copy. It is located in the Parque Verano Azul, where you can also find posters and pictures with scenes of the show.
Some indoor scenes of ‘Verano Azul’, like the ones with the lighthouse visited by Chanquete in the episode known as “La brújula”, were shot in Estudios Roma, in Madrid, while the outdoor ones were shot in Faro de Trafalgar
The famous director and producer Juan Lebrón worked as a cameraman in ‘Verano Azul’ and during the shooting saved the life of an English girl who felt into the swimming pool of a chalet they were working in the residential complex of El Capistrano. The shooting had to be cancelled and the film crew organized a party.
The beaches of the province of Malaga stretch for 160 kilometers along the renowned Costa del Sol, famous for its more than 300 days of sunshine a year and mild winter temperatures. This region offers a wide variety of beaches, from wide and sandy to small hidden coves, providing endless options for the most diverse audiovisual projects. This, coupled with the excellent infrastructure and numerous services available, makes the Costa del Sol an incredible film destination.
