Plot and themes
Verano de amor is the story of four teenagers who have always lived in the city of Tlacotalpan, Veracruz, Mexico. The story's message emphasizes the distinction between the importance of pursuing one's dreams and the importance of pursuing material things.[1] The show's creators chose Tlacotalpan for its setting in large part because of its natural beauty; the storyline of Verano de amor incorporates messages promoting environmentalism, an extension of Televisa's "Televisa Verde" initiative focused on the environment.[2]
The theme "El Verano" performed by Dulce Maria, is the main theme of the telenovela, which sounds both at the entrance and in the end credits.
As the novel progressed, new themes are introduced, for example: "Light up the world tonight" (by Christopher Uckermann) and "I want my life" (by the fictional band Bikini's).
With the premiere of the second season, also premiered the new song of the telenovela, "Déjame Ser", also starring Dulce María, which is used at the entrance of the telenovela.
