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.
