Probably one of the most beloved and funniest series that was on Spanish television. A comedy about a community of neighbors who share adventures and misadventures over the years. This simple premise is enough to be considered a classic of Spanish comedy and a series that is hard to forget. This series, although it was broadcast for only three years (2003-2006), was so well received that several versions of it were created in other countries, such as France, Chile, Argentina or Portugal.
