Three decades after the shooting of the first episodes of the emblematic TV series ‘Verano Azul’, numerous members of the cast and production team are to return to Nerja on September 19th as part of a 30th anniversary celebration.
Shooting of the series, which is credited with having put Nerja ‘on the map’, began on August 21st 1979. Around 50 cast and crew members will be in Nerja on September 19th, the only notable exception being the director, Antonio Mercero.
At a ceremony to be held at the Town Hall, actors María Garralón (who played Julia) and Juanjo Artero (who played Javi), will be presented with the Municipal Gold Shield and named as ‘Tourists of Honour’. After the ceremony, the group will tour the town, including a visit to the boat ‘La Dorada’ in Parque Verano Azul and then head down to Burriana beach for a meal at Ayo’s.
Throughout the day, the Tourist Office will have people stationed on the Balcón de Europa and various activities will take place to keep everybody entertained. In the evening, at around 21:30, there will be a concert.
