The Man Who Bottled the Sun

The Man Who Bottled the Sun

Óscar Bernàcer
The amazing story of how Benidorm became a major tourist resort thanks to Pedro Zaragoza, the legendary mayor with a Vespa. This unique man was able to create a modern city out of nothing, turn it into a leisure playground for the middle class, and then pitch it from London to Lapland with marketing strategies that still seem incredible even today. Did it all really happen?
