Photo Friday #28
Not a photo and not taken by me, so technically I guess this is not really Photo Friday material. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but share this vintage advertisement as it does combine two of my passions: travel and Spain.
BTW, I think you’re more likely to encounter a redhead in Galicia or Asturias
And it’s pretty darn hilarious, in a mildly offensive way. I can just imagine those Mad Men coming up with something like this. Of course, the advert will seem all the more ironic to those who have actually flown Iberia in recent years – the romance is definitely gone, people. Iberia has a pretty sketchy reputation in regards to service/on time, etc. So bad that I know many Spanish who won’t even fly with them anymore, if they can help it.
Found at Felisuco, this is an advert found in a July 1970 National Geographic magazine. More Photo Friday featuring travel photos here.

“But, really, their training begins at birth.” Grrrr… Sigh.
Disturbing, isn’t it? I think I should be asking my sisters-in-law about this special Spanish woman “training.”
