In the 60s and 70s, a rectangular box, with a belly and a convex glass screen, became omnipresent in the living rooms of the Spanish. Carefully dressed in a flamenco dress, sometimes with a pair of castanets in her hands, her head upright, a smile on her mouth and a lively gaze.

But one day the gypsy fell off the TV and went from being an icon to a reviled kitsch memory... and then forgotten. Or rather, until a few days ago, when the Marín gypsy came back to life.
