The White Village

Set in a sunlit inland town in the Alcoià region, the series traces life as it unfolds toward the mid 1960s. A close-knit community keeps watch over two long-standing rivals, the Falcó and the Pedreguer families, whose ties weave love across class lines, along with envy and petty scandal that ripple through the streets. Laughter and tenderness sit beside sharp satire as generations talk, argue, and dream within a world defined by fields, fiestas, and family loyalties. As modern ideas creep in, old habits collide with new freedoms, reshaping friendships and plans. The cast centers on Dora Pedreguer, Tio Pep, Diego, Raquel, and Robert Sanchis Pedreguer, giving the town its heartbeat. Lola Moltó, Berna Llobell, Álex Gadea, María Maroto and Oskar Ramos anchor the ensemble with quiet warmth.

Produced for Spanish television in 2007, The White Village is created by Martín Román. Specific director credits are not widely documented, but the show is rooted in the Valencian countryside and its local storytelling tradition. The production emphasizes rural location work, and the wardrobe and set design aim for period accuracy that helps audiences feel the era.

The series is often praised for its authentic sense of place and time, capturing the rhythms of village life and the complexities of family dynamics in a changing world. Its focus on two rival lineages and a cross class romance gives local viewers a shared language of memory and pride.

Viewers respond to the mix of drama and humor set against a lovingly drawn rural backdrop. Key themes include love that crosses social divides, the pull of tradition, and the clash between a close knit community and the signals of a modern era.
