Spain's low living costs are equaled nowhere in Europe except Greece and Yugoslavia, and its range of scenery and climate are matched nowhere at all. Orson Welles, making do with a fish-and-flour warehouse as studio, paid rent of a mere $120 a month. And he didn't have to fabricate a medieval cobbled-street market, a walled village, or a 12th century Romanesque castle: all were within kilometers of his set. Which left most of his rigid...

Exports-chiefly fish meal, cotton, copper, sugar and iron ore-jumped 25% to a record $665 million, the G.N.P. rose an impressive 12%, and the sol (3.7?) remained one of South America's most stable currencies. On Lima's outskirts, General Motors is completing Peru's first auto-assembly plant, a $5,000,000 operation that will enable Peruvians to buy autos without paying duties that go to 110% on most U.S. models.
