My first foreign holiday was also aged 9 in Ibiza in 1974. About the time this was filmed. It seemed so exotic. I’ll never forget the heat and humidity stepping of the plane. Something not experienced in England.

I went to Palma Nova in March 1975. We stayed in a huge hotel. It rained solidly for three days and the roads were not finished yet so there was no drainage and our feet got covered in mud. The only Spanish people we met worked in the hotel. All the shopkeepers were English.

I first went to Magaluf in 1980 - been back there numerous times and to next door Palma Nova. There's a middle class snobbishness here redolent of the time. Earlier it was for places like Torremolinos then Monty Python did a sketch that re-affirmed that prejudice and travel shows moved on. Same with Benidorm. These places are sunny, fun and make people happy - lets not sneer eh?

i live in spain for last 8 years and the roads are still nail biting experiences. stray dogs on the loose, racing drivers and drunk ex pats. but on the whole the spanish are obviously very skilled at driving as despite the reckless nature they never ever seem to have accidents. daily near misses but rarely accidents. they must have bull fighter type quick reactions or perhaps liquid cognitive brains. but i have to say,, i prefer going slowly.

This IS Franco Spain - the Caudillo died in office the year after this programme, and tourism in Spain was Franco’s baby. Franco left concrete monstrosities all over the country. Many rural communities were forced out of their homes and relocated in prefabricated towns like L’Altet to service Franco’s tourist industry. You didn’t argue with Franco, and his authoritarianism was so pervasive that it stymied economic growth. He HAD to open up Spain because he’d frightened the entrepreneurial instinct out of his citizens. Franco’s social experiment shows what would have happened to Nazi Germany if it had won the war. It would’ve collapsed in the 1950s.
