About Acacias 38
Acacias 38 is a Spanish period daily soap produced by Boomerang TV for Televisión Española, set on a fictional residential street in early-1900s Madrid. The whole world of the series fits inside one grand block of flats at number 38, where wealthy bourgeois families occupy the upstairs apartments and the maids, porters, and shopkeepers who serve them move through the courtyards, kitchens, and back stairs below. From the square outside, with its café, its market stalls, and its constant comings and goings, the street becomes a stage where every romance and rivalry plays out in plain view of the neighbors.
The drama runs on the friction between classes and the secrets that refuse to stay hidden. Lawyer Felipe Alvarez-Hermoso, played by Marc Parejo, becomes one of the block's steadiest fixtures, drawn into the legal and romantic entanglements of his neighbors; the wealthy Germán de la Serna, played by Roger Berruezo, arrives with a charm that upends more than one household; and the watchful housekeeper Fabiana Aguado, played by Inma Pérez-Quirós, keeps the domestic machinery running while she guards the truths of the families she serves. Forbidden attractions, inheritances, jealousies, and old crimes braid together across hundreds of half-hour chapters.
Lush and meticulously costumed, the series leans into the textures of turn-of-the-century Spain, from corsets and carriages to the rigid etiquette that governs who may speak to whom. As the years advance toward the 1910s and beyond, the street weathers the larger currents of the age while its intertwined lives keep colliding. The result is a handsome, propulsive melodrama about love across the class divide, the cost of ambition, and the way a single shared address can bind strangers into one tangled neighborhood.
