Historical Context<br />
We must remember th<strong>at</strong> after the post-war period, with the intern<strong>at</strong>ional opening,<br />
came the development to Spain. The currency sent by the Spaniards who worked abroad<br />
and the enormous flow of tourists permitted the large growth of the Spaniard economic<br />
product in all of history. The Spaniards left in masses to go work in the central European<br />
countries. The official amount of immigrants in the 60s was 1,100,000, but the nonofficial<br />
amount was of 2,500,000 (Muy historia, 51). In th<strong>at</strong> same era, the Franco<br />
government imposed a fine of 40,000 pesetas in Benidorm for anyone who wore a bikini,<br />
but there was not enough supply of police to fine all the tourists so they opted to leave<br />
them in peace.<br />
