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.

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.

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.

Talented Swede Sylvia sang with Bert Kaempfert among others, and still sings in many genres, including jazz, and in a range of languages. She is the archetype Pan-European musician but is denied proper recognition in UK since we - unlike other Europeans - insist on hearing every song in our native tongue. Pity, as we thereby miss out on loads of good stuff!
