<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 9846311, member: 29&quot;]I first went to Spain in the late fifties, then very regularly indeed in the sixties and seventies. Stuff aimed at the tourist market was in abundance. And indeed by the late sixties into very early seventies, the quality of clothing my mother and I bought there was superb. Leather goods, too, I still own shoes, bags and purses we bought then, as well as silk scarves and jewellery. Majorica pearls too. </p><p><br /></p><p>Four million tourists in 1959, which grew to over almost thirty five&nbsp; million by ‘73.&nbsp; British the most common, Germans next. </p><p><br /></p><p>Whilst many in the home market may not have been buying, tourists certainly were. It did vary by region, Catalunya was always way more prosperous.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
