A military base built by American Marines in the 1950s transformed a small Spanish village into a hub of dollars, night clubs, and rock n' roll.
Synopsis
Rota, a small village on the Spanish coast, transformed dramatically in the 1950s when American Marines established a large military base on local farmland. This influx brought American culture to post-civil war Spain, introducing dollars, Marlboros, Cadillacs, and rock n' roll music to a country under a fascist regime. Rota became known as "The South European Las Vegas," marking a significant cultural shift in a nation grappling with its recent past.
