 Benidorm - Close to heaven - the song contest
Whilst the idea of a song contest wasn't new (there'd been one running for ten years in the Italian town of San Remo, and the Eurovision version had started two years earlier), the impact of the Benidorm Song Contest went far beyond the expectations of the trio enjoying an after-dinner drink.
The tenth annual Festival was finally the point when the singers and songs became known internationally, with Julio Iglasias himself and two of the bands competing, Los Gritos and Los Payos, reaching the hit parades of both Spain and America.
The Festival of this year was a show, not a competition, and after having missed only one year in it's twenty-three year history, El Festivál de la Canción de Benidorm was laid to rest, apart from a twenty-fifth anniversary special in 1985.
