Yeah, the truth is that, in fact, this is not an spanish song, it is about Spain, but not from Spain. Even the most famous spanish version of this song around the world is not from Spain, but from Venezuela, by Billo's Caracas Boys band.
Me too, but on a Swedish beach 30 mins. from home when I was 12. going on 13...;-) Since then, I've traveled to and in almost 60 countries on 5 continents, spending more than 5 years abroad in the past 42 years...

Unbelievable times. Top of the pops that I used to go to nearly every week. My uncle worked at BBC then a d we always got in. This lady Slyvia is now 75 and another Export from Sweden.
It was my first year in Spain on holiday when this came out. I was 15yrs old. Fond memories of the old town of Tossa de Mar with my parents on a railway club holiday.
Love, Love, LOVE, this song!!. Takes me back to 1975, when hubby (now deceased) and I were travelling in a Landrover from England to Australia ... taking the scenic route thru' Spain. Had this on cassette (if anyone remembers them lol!) and once we were over the border, where guns were pointed by guards in every direction (a bit scary) blasted this and sang along. Happy Days and a great country. I'm happy to say we arrived 6mths later in Oz, surviving and enjoying Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, etc.
Playing it straight after final whistle. Had to listen to my Alky neighbour above screaming like a banshee . Until minute 88. Then it's deadly quiet. Oh the irony of karma
I first heard this song in my late teens when the show Benidorm first aired, I then went on holiday to Benidorm with my then girlfriend, she got poorly, but I've gone back and will continue to go back, listening to this song all the way. Note, I have been to many countries, on different continents and I'm so content in Benidorm 😂
I was 3 when this hit was around..lol this is now my hit 43 years on to a well earned holiday for the girls heading to benidorm....happy 50TH birthday mandy & sonia celebrating whilst away XXX
Wonderful Spain holiday, March 2015, and this song comes to mind. Used to listen to this song in the 1970s,... Was quite popular in India back then, too!
right you are jess. I use to live in calcutta then and i remember the song was very popular in the angloindian community . This song has relaeased a flood of memories from foot ball in st Xavier and loitering in elliot road and royd street .
I heard this song way back in 1977 while I was in XI standard in record player and today after a gap of 37 years I hear this song.l am so happy that I can't explain.I would like to hear her other song like you cannot carry that weight and all
Smart girl now lady catching the vibes into a song.....! My hippy Swedish parents were dancing on the tables and I heard the tunes in my baby stroler.....
And also thank you for torturing and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people, subjugating women, perpetuating racism in the name of Catholicism.
Absolutely speechless,cant be defined by adjectives cause this masterpiece work of music is so naturally enriched .Viva espaniol Viva music,cheers......from Calcutta(West bengal,republic of india)
Wow, look at the audience, they are loving it! Its such a simple song and performance but they really appreciate it, thats nice. I think I was born 20 years too late.
Remember real Madrid fans signing this at the UCL final against juventus in Cardiff What a day that was. Had no ticket and started talking to a bunch of Madrid fans in steakhouse in Cardiff. Managed to get a ticket for 80 quid because one of the group had gone into labour Memories 💯
"Flamenco dancers are by far the finest bet There was one who whispered oh hasta la vista Each time I kissed him behind the castanet He rattled his maracas close to me In no time I was trembling at the knee" Double entendres galore!! 😂

It is not a Spanish song. The song was written by 2 Belgians in 1972. The song is all about Spain, but is not Spanish, lol.
