Funny and fun Spanish comedy with a top-notch cast formed by the biggest hilarious actors from the sixties, such as José Luis López Vazquez , Alfredo Landa and Manolo Gómez Bur . Torremolinos is a seaside resort in Andalusia where Spanish people and foreigners on vacation meet themselves, resulting in agreeable romances . Among them are Paco Lafuente (José Luis López Vázquez), an Iberia worker, who gets Ingrid (Erika Wallner), a beautiful foreigner , a "Sueca" (Swedish) , to travel to Torremolinos after missing her plane . Shortly after, Paco himself will leave Madrid to go to the town of Torremolinos , Málaga , and meet her in a hotel . Along with Rafa (Alfredo Landa) , a hotel waiter who pleases mature female vacationers ; a womanizer Patricio Ruiz (Manolo Gómez Bur) who attempts flirts with the foreign girls , an Englishman named Van Criep (Alfonso Paso) , who is really lonely and boozer while wishing find love ; Marianne (Laura Valenzuela) and Marcel Leroix (Pastor Serrador) , a French couple on holiday and Sofia , their child's baby-sitter . An enjoyable love story brings Paco and Ingrid together but after a while romantic complications occuring here and there .

Typical Spanish comedy with a choral casting in a rather slight holiday story about the tourist boom in the 60s Spanish period , also dealing with issues of prejudice-social complexes and other addictions . It is a passable and acceptable picture but lacks sparkle , mayhem and madness of the other Spanish comedies . Highlights , above all, a great plethora of notorious actors and with a so-so script by José Luis Dibildos ("Spanish Women In Paris", "The New Spaniards") and Alfonso Paso ("Those Who Play The Piano", "The Underdeveloped") who also plays an attractive role . Amor-a-la-espanola (1967) contains comedic and dramatic aspects and including pop song by Los Flames and drawings in the credits by Antonio Mingote . Nice performances from José Luis López Vázquez as an employee of the Iberia airline company , he gets a serious/comical role in his romance with Erika Wallner who steals the show as the charming , gorgeous Swedish tourist Ingrid, while Alfonso Paso playing an alcoholic character, and Alfredo Landa tries to wriggle out of his mature admirers as a gigolo waiter , adding other fine players as Manolo Gómez Bur , Elena María Tejeiro , Margot Cottens , Pastor Serrador , Laura Valenzuela , Sara Guasch , Fernando Nogueras , José Luis Coll and brief appearance by Alvaro de Luna.
