XANA was already sensing what was going to happen and as expected, it had to be in a town with the same name as where it all started. The beach of San Juan de Alicante.
The XANAS were inheriting the powers from generation to generation. Elvira, her mother, never stopped giving signs and appearing in her dreams, but now she had focused on her granddaughter, La Voz de Naranja, who was already 14 years old, all the freshness of youth and innocence, and what would be the next XANA when her mother Carmina was missing.<\/p>

Year 1956, it was the Belburne Olympics, Francisco Franco invades Russia and does not send Spain to the Olympics.
Emilio had the body of an athlete like his mother XANA, at the age of 18 he had obtained the title of number one as a soccer coach. Every day he went to train at the Mestalla soccer field on the Vespa and carried Choco behind him, who, as if he were a person, clung to his waist with his front legs. Choco was already very old, he lived 16 years, which for a German shepherd is a lot, they usually live 12 at most. He died right there and right there in the Mestalla field he is still buried. A true character who conquered the hearts of footballers and none wanted to miss his emotional farewell.
But what Emilio liked was boxing and he was very good at that discipline. He had fallen in love with what would be the love of his life, Teresa Romero. Even the name is pretty like a flower. She was so beautiful and such a good person! She went to the market so elegant, with her heels, makeup and groomed as if at any moment they were going to turn on the cameras.
Her incredible resemblance to the actress Carmen Sevilla, made them stop her on the street to ask her for a photo of her. One day Teresa was buying fish and there was a boy who did not stop complimenting her, helping her with the purchase, talking, asking questions, laughing. Emilio had been seeing all this for a while since he was going to look for his girlfriend and since he was super jealous, he approached and thinking it was the punching bag, he punched D. Juan twice, who had to spend the night in the dungeon .\nThe Colonel had to go get him out and from that day on, he never let him box again. He dedicated himself fully to athletics, which he founded in Valencia and with which he managed to fly, and reach the furthest.<\/p>

The Falange had opened the first girls' school after the Civil War, Domus, in Latin, home. Where they taught women to sew, to put diapers, home economics, and history and morals of the Falange. Blanca , like the rest of the ladies, they wore a red beret in class, but outside they had to take it off to avoid provocation. Elvi, which was what Blanca called her, after school, she would go to Do\u00f1a Blanca's house and while she ate sunflower seeds and repeated the proverbs that she heard every day and that she loved, she waited for her friend, Blanca.
That afternoon the phone rang and it was the Director General of Radio Televisi\u00f3n Espa\u00f1ola D. Luis Ezcurra, who wanted to meet Blanca Maria Alvarez personally. Explaining his intention that she prepare very well and appear in the Official State Gazette, as number one in shorthand, for getting 160 sign words per minute, like the Government stenographers. And so he can offer her a permanent position at the Radio. Asked them to be attend because he would send a car to pick them up to invite them to eat.<\/p>

It was 1958 on the beach of San Juan, where Director Ezcurra had his summer villa. That day his close friend, the Director of Radio Nacional de Espa\u00f1a, Mr. Emilio Llorca Benavent, and her brother, Jose Angel, Director of Triunfo magazine, were also there.
A car sent by Radio Nacional picked up XANA, Do\u00f1a Blanca, Blanca, and La Voz de Naranja, which was like a sticker\u2026
\u2014The first civilizations that arrived in San Juan de Alicante date back to the 4th century before Christ, with the presence of remains of Italic Sigillatas from the S.I.A. C. (bright red Roman pottery) \u2026 When there are so many centuries of history, landscapes become a world of fantasy. Around 1246, Alfonso X of Castile reconquered San Juan de Alicante, which had been Muslim for 5 centuries and became Christian\u2026 Jose Luis Villar Palazi explained information and tourism to the guests.
La Voz de Naranja was already 13 years old and did not go unnoticed. She delighted everyone with a pop song that she had composed herself and got everyone dancing after eating the delicious Toledo flans, made by Rosa, the Director's wife.
That same afternoon, Blanca, already 18 years old, as if she were a real manager, asked Director Ezcurra to include her friend Mar\u00eda Elvira in the TV program \u201cFiesta en el Aire\u201d, which was broadcast in the studios. Miramar of Barcelona. The Director was fascinated with the artistic career of Mar\u00eda Elvira and did not hesitate for a second.<\/p>

\u00a0XANA did not like her daughter to sing if it was not in a theater, where they separate you from the public and there is no contact. She was too elegant like the good Asturian women, and she carried the weight of being the wife of a Colonel, who would soon be promoted to General. But Mar\u00eda Elvira was so special\u2026 the angel that remained in her voice at birth was the only thing that made XANA overcome the irreplaceable loss of a son. When she listened to her sing, she was invaded by a strong emotion of seeing how everything that her mother, Elvira, had predicted was coming true, and she was consoled by the expectation of a son-in-law and her grandchildren.<\/p>

In 1959, Blanca achieves her dream and begins to work at Radio Nacional leading her `own morning program \u201cWork with Music\u201d where she wrote the texts for the listeners who asked for dedicated discs.
The Falange from time to time sent an inspector and if he qualified a record as non-radioable, for example, the bolero in orchestra, \u201cB\u00e9same mucho\u201d, which, although it did not have lyrics, was censored only because of the title. Blanca had to put a red or yellow tape on it to differentiate them from the others. They were the first records that she received from the Hispavox record company, the black paste ones that went at 78 revolutions. Once again, coincidences do not exist and the name of Hispavox would turn around later in the life of the little star, La voz de Naranja.<\/p>

XANA the grandmother, it seemed that she enjoyed from heaven managing the destiny of her granddaughter The Orange Voice. She was tiny and 4 elegant and strong bodyguards would come in handy for her trips, tours, performances, even to record an album in Barcelona at the Discophon house.
The sewing machine burned, Maria Elvira began to design her wardrobe that XANA sewed and her two sisters, still single, were her assistants. Gauze, silk, silver and gold thread. She was passionate about the wool that was made from the Kashmir goat, which lived in the high mountains of the Himalayas, the cashmere. And the angora wool for her jackets. It was complicated to make and required a lot of time. But XANA felt proud and happy, sewing seated in front of her Virgen del Socorro surrounded by her daughters and already thinking about moving the family to Madrid.
As if she came out of the sewing machine the sweet voice of the grandmother said; \u2014The girl will have to be surrounded by tall, strong and handsome men; A group of three excellent musicians, and a comedian so that they never stop smiling and happiness and success reign.
Los Cal\u00edope, a group of three musicians, wanted to form a musical-vocal group and Mar\u00eda Elvira was perfect. The fourth bodyguard would be El Mago del Humor \"Cacho\" a beautiful person who acted with them within the programming and who made hearts happy.
This team of great artists, so young, so healthy and so fun, left their essence and their art on the stage of the Teatro Principal de Valencia and in many others, for history.<\/p>

The Director of Radio Nacional offers Mar\u00eda Elvira to appear on Spanish television in Barcelona, \u200b\u200band leaves them a room to rehearse. Mar\u00eda Elvira, when she got bored of rehearsing, left the rehearsal and hid in the cleaning room waiting for a signal from her grandmother. Her silence helped her to connect with her because she was saying that there was something important that she wanted to convey to her and she had to discover it. Until Blanca caught her one day and she no longer hid. She was still very naughty. But what was true was that her grandmother sent her signals.<\/p>

The dressing room was already ready and Barcelona was waiting for everyone where they would spend a long season.\u00a0
D. Emilio Ponce, (El Coronel), Do\u00f1a Carmen Garcia (XANA) and Blanca, accompanied Mar\u00eda Elvi on her tour.\u00a0
Mar\u00cda Elvira y Los Cal\u00edope, and Arturo Cacho, triumphed in Barcelona. Julio Bejarano, one of the attractive musicians, fell in love with a German beauty that he did not want to let escape, they went to her country, where they got married and had children. Elvira, La Voz de Naranja, would begin to receive many solo offers.
XANA and the Colonel returned to Valencia long before, their move to Madrid was a very important change for the family and a very big move awaited them. Because of her position, Singer would go in the first truck.<\/p>

On the trip back to Valencia, Blanca and Elvi met many of the artists who had performed the night before on a television program at the station. Among them Nino Bravo, a singer who was already rising like wildfire in the music industry, because of his powerful and Mediterranean voice.
Mar\u00eda Elvira was very surprised that Nino Bravo, who was only one year older than her and whose birthday was on August 3, the same day as her mother XANA, was not waiting for the train. At that moment, she felt the presence of her grandmother through an inexplicable smell that led her to approach him and ask him why he was not going to return to Valencia with the others on the train.
Nino Bravo told her that he would return by car with some friends. Mar\u00eda Elvira told him to be very careful with the cars, that it was always better to return by train after the concerts.
Years later Nino Bravo had a serious car accident and was about to die, it was a warning from the universe, but even so he continued driving after the concerts and at only 28 years old, he died in a tragic traffic accident, while changing a cassette of music in a hairpin bend, leaving his young wife pregnant. Just a year before, he had triumphed with the song \"A Kiss and a Flower\" where his lyrics foresaw what was going to happen.<\/p>

Antes de trasladarse a Madrid , Elvira, la voz de Naranja, se presenta al Festival del Mi\u00f1o, con la canci\u00f3n No, no, no.\u00a0 Ese a\u00f1o se presentaba tambi\u00e9n el cantante Raphael, que ya era n\u00famero uno en listas.
La gente comentaba por los pasillos de la organizaci\u00f3n; \u2014Si\u00a0 se presenta Elvira, que se marchen todos a casa , \u00a1 se esta llevando todos los primeros premios de interpretaci\u00f3n! La Voz de Naranja, No se conform\u00f3 con ganar el primer premio, tambi\u00e9n se llevo el segundo\u2026 me hubiese encantado ver la cara de Raphael en ese momento.\u00a0 Le seguir\u00eda el Festival de Benidorm y un sin fin de ofertas y contratos. Pero su destino estaba en Madrid. Una cinematogr\u00e1fica historia de amor estaba a punto de suceder.<\/p>

Right there, in an attic of the Arco de Cuchilleros in the Plaza Mayor, next to the oldest restaurant in the world, \"Casa Bot\u00edn\" founded in 1725 by the Frenchman Jean Botin, with 4 floors, with a brick facade with a classic view of the S XVI, The Colonel lived with XANA and his three daughters.
Benito Perez Galdos already mentioned it in his work, Fortunata and Jacinta. There were still traces of Ernest Hemingway in the incredible cellar of his enchanting cave and the essence of Francisco De Goya could be felt on the walls. Every day D. Emilio drank his Chato de vino and his garlic or Castilian soup, which after the Civil War was only prepared with paprika, water, garlic and bread. XANA was too busy to cook every day, sewing Elvirita's new wardrobe, which was what she was called at home, and adapting to her new life in Madrid. Her sister Sara, left San Juan de la Arena, and married a rich man from Extremadura, who distributed the best five jotas ham included to \"Casa Bot\u00edn\" and that was when she took the opportunity to accompany her husband to the capital and visit XANA and his nieces.
Again she began to form that halo around the Virgen del Socorro. The premonition was starting to happen.<\/p>

\u00a0The Institute of Research and Cinematographic Experiences, created during the Franco dictatorship of 1947, had to wait 15 years to change its name. In 1962 the Official School of Cinematography of Madrid, is based in an old palace and is integrated into the Ministry of Information and Tourism. It is the so-called Golden Age of the school. The most important filmmakers in Spain walked through the classrooms of the EOC.
Elvira Ponce studied in the dubbing department, she had such a beautiful voice, with so much personality, and she was such a good actress, that they raffled her off. The students were already beginning to be recognized in the industry. It was practically a production center. She was a complete artist like Hollywood actresses. In Spain there was still the mentality that if you sing, dance and act, you will do something wrong. Not to mention the conversations in bars about a woman's duty to be at home with her children. Even so, Elvira Ponce, already 22 years old, rescued her last name so that people would never forget who she was and thus feel more protected . She was born an artist, but the most important thing of all, is that she was good as a virgin, a being of light, she had no evil and everything she thought she said, without realizing that one of her phrases could cause another world war .\u00a0<\/p>

While the President of the United States John F. Kennedy was assassinated and the world trembled, the Film School was filming Do\u00f1a Rosita, La Soltera. With a script by Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca. Elvira Ponce was radiant and gorgeous in her leading role, but she seemed very aware that the sound was perfect. And the truth was, she didn't care too much about that. It was the sound engineer, who since she had seen him no longer slept at night. \n Her grandmother XANA put in that Palace , in the sound department, her prince charming. Angel Barco Torrijos, a young man who had all the actresses in love and surely more than one actor. He resembled the American actor Paul Newman so much that directors constantly offered him to appear on camera. But Angel was shy, the best at what he did and they couldn't convince him.
Elvirita, told XANA that he had violet eyes like the actress Elizabeth Taylor. And that he was surely French, because of the way he dressed in a turtleneck sweater and a corduroy jacket. That she was stunned watching how the color of his eyes changed, depending on the sweater he was wearing.
Angel Barco lived in a chalet with his parents on Calle Arturo Soria, one of those with fruit trees in the back. Emilia and Isidoro, his parents, had many fig trees. As old as the Bible. But the fig was not a fruit, it was an inverted flower... legend has it that its fragrant smell scared away evil spirits from houses. And they were symbols of prosperity, fertility and fortune.<\/p>

One day Elvira couldn't take it anymore, and to get Angel's attention, during a break from filming, she asked him what her father worked for. Angel, who had a peculiar sense of humor and that not everyone understood, for being curious, he replied that he was an undertaker. Elvira returned home that night frightened and had also discovered that her prince was not French, and that he had a pure-bred cat from Madrid accent, one of those that you can still imagine climbing the Puerta de Alcal\u00e1 or in this case, next to a grave \u2026
Elvira did not stop crying, she was sitting on the sofa next to the Colonel and she sang the song \"I do not want to suffer anymore\" with which she won an award. Carminina, that's what he called her, heated up rice pudding for the young woman in love . She told them that they had been flirting for a year now, but that \u00c1ngel liked the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving the freedom to go around Europe with a friend on his Vespa, before starting to work as Director of the Hispavox recording studios. And that she would spend the three summer months away, that she was not going to stand it and that she would die of love without him, that she would never meet such a handsome man even if he was a Cat.
XANA thought that it was time to tell her the truth so that she wouldn't suffer so much from love; \u2014Elvirita! Look at the circle of the virgin's halo! When it closes you will stop suffering for love. Your grandmother Elvira told me on her deathbed our future. Angel will be the father of your 5 children, it is already written. When he comes back from his journey, he will never be parted from you again as long as he lives, and he will take care of you until the end of your days.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
