Manuel, the waiter on FAWLTY TOWERS, hails from what Spanish city?
FAWLTY TOWERS has been consistently ranked as one of the best British comedies of all time, if not THE best. A consummate farce, episodes center on the exploits and misadventures of short-fused hotelier Basil Fawlty (series creator, John Cleese), his acerbic spouse Sybill (Prunella Scales) and the hotel staff, consisting primarily of Polly (series co-creator, Connie Booth) and Manuel (Andrew Sachs). Manuel was a well-meaning yet confused waiter from Spain that Basil often mistreated and continually apologized for. Manuel had a poor grasp of English language and customs, which often led to misunderstandings - and Basil's ire.
One of the recurring gags in the series was Basil Fawlty's attempts to explain away Manuel's incompetence by saying he was from his city of origin, as if that alone was a valid excuse. So fans of the series no doubt know the city - and the line - by heart.
So where was it? What Spanish city did Manuel on FAWLTY TOWERS call home?
Think about it and I'll post the correct answer later.
