ManacorVisual investigations into a town's past often bring surprises. This is one of them. An enigmatic video of less than a minute that shows, in color, what the center of Manacor looked like in 1963. With shimmering, silky tones and shots, both sunny and nostalgic. From the pearls to the large church. From the souvenirs Strangers in necklaces.
The find, said to have been made by a tourist who traveled to the island that year (probably on 8mm celluloid), has a stipulated sale price (not physical, but lowered for later use wherever desired as part of another piece) of 597 euros.
