In Ciadoncha it is also customary th<strong>at</strong> when advice is read a few weeks before the<br />

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 />
