@@TeleportWalkers I remember, we (the personnel in my squadron) knew that Franco had died, minutes after he passed. We were ordered to not speak a single word if it, outside our squadron, until Spain could install Juan Carlos. Even the people of Spain didn't know yet. That has always stuck in my mind, as to the mechanics of how politics works. It felt uneasy for me to carry that secret, even for the short time it took for the Spanish government to prepare for the announcement.
Evening walk in beautiful coastal town of Rota. I hope you enjoy this video and please like👍 and subscribe🔔 for new videos!
Thank you! So many memories... You can't imagine how much Rota has changed since the 70s... All for the better!
You're welcome!! I bet! There still constructions on the streets that they haven't finished before the summer
When I got to Rota, Franco was in power... When I left, Juan Carlos was in power.
yeah! In 1978 is when democracy came back, and the Spanish constitution
