Hola Amigos,
I lived a total of 9 years in Spain (1971-80) and I have a whole lot of "popular culture" memories I wanna share with you. I'm sure these images ring a bell!!
Gaby, Fofo, Miliki y Fofito
Fofo
La musica de los payasos.
Hombre Rico, Hombre Pobre ("Rich Man, Poor Man.")
Remember "Los Hombres De Harrelson" (S.W.A.T.)?

El Cine Exin
Exin - Castles
Jueges Reunidos
Bimbovision (It came with the "Bimbo" cakes)

Remember that tv show "Curro Jimenez"?
Kiko Ledgard (Host of "Un Dos Tres")
'Un Dos Tres, Responda Otra Vez' - Remember this game show Friday nights?
