This is a love story in the true tradition of telenovelas, long on love scenes and fight scenes, short on subtlety. However, as a student learning Spanish I thought this was great entertainment. Although there are no English subtitles, the story is easy enough to follow and the Spanish is spoken clearly. I grew weary of the cat and mouse nature of the relationship between Azul and Santiago - will they ever find each other? - but it is entertaining and the costumes and scenery are spectacular. After nearly 48 hours of following the love story lines, the ending seemed to come rather abruptly - I would have liked a little more detail and more follow up after the hours I had invested in following the characters. The five stars is for the story but I had serious problems with the discs. They are packaged so that they rub against each other causing visible scratches. Two of them would not play at all, but Amazon was great about replacing them. Just be sure to test each side of each disc before the 30 day replacement deadline. Also note that unlike most discs the label (which is almost impossible to read) refers to the actual side of the disc you are looking at. I did not realize this and played Disc 1 side 2 first, not realizing it was the second side. Also, my player could not identify the chapter, the time played or the time remaining, so stopping and restarting at the same place was a real pain. Overall I am very happy I bought it and may even watch it again someday.

Can recommend this series without doubt. 8 doublesided DVDs, 48 hours!! Contains the entire series unclipped!!

is just agreat production by humberto zurita and his wife they should realease more like this like for example alondra,amor gitano,el vuelo del aguila, senda de gloria, angela, marielena,canaveral de pasiones ,laberintos de pasiones, guadalupe, contra viento y marea, sin pecado concevido,el noveno madamiento,gata salvaje, zorro la telenovela, maria la del barrio,la esposa virgen,ramona,mari mar,la otra no matter the price is sold i would like to buy them if they come to be taken out on dvd format there are great story of love just like azul tequila i hope that in the future they will be avaible for the people that like spanish soap operas i hope by this means of communication they would release these titles on dvd so people could enjoy them time and time again.

I have been looking for Telenovelas that were not the summarized edited versions which are mostly what there is on Amazon and retail outlets. I found this one and purchased it.

AZUL Tequila was excellent; we watched the 40 hour telenovela over several weeks and were hooked. The telenovela is so well done, I found the acting for the most part to be excellent and the story riveting. The photography and music were also beautiful.

Note: This Telenovela does not have captions either in Spanish or English, so you would need a decent command of Spanish to follow the story and the dialog. Fortunately that was not an issue for us.

Message to the Telenovela studios:
Please notice that there is a huge market for Telenovelas complete versions. Please make them available and we will buy them, don't you want to make money??

Inmportant note regarding the DVD packaging:
The DVD packaging for this product is badly designed so that it damages the DVDs in it , scratches them. So the first thing you should do when the DVDs arrive is take all the discs out of the DVD packaging to avoid any further damage to the discs.

Es toda una joya de novela, los protagonistas trabajan excelente, la fotografía es una belleza, la ambientación, todo todo. Además como ninguna otra novela original está COMPLETA en 8 DVD's doble cara lo que equivale a 16 DVD's normales. LA RECOMIENDO A TODO EL MUNDO.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL NOVELA
IT IS SO WORTH IT AND ITS BASED ON A TRUE STORY!

Esta novela esta muy preciosa, con sentimiento y todo como queremos.
Pero se falta un poco hasta amor real, esta todavia me campiona.
Azul tequila se reparo con la duracion, se dura 2880 Minutos no como se escriben 700,
es la serie sin cortos y esta mi gusta!

I was not able to watch it till the end. First I thought after while it would get interesting but, unfortunately, the war never ended and finally I gave up. I love Barbara Mori, she is brilliant in Rubi and in My Brother's Wife (la mujer de mi hermano), she is pretty in Azul Tequila as well, but the story is awful. And also I have to mention that DVD quality also is very bad. So if you want the story that will catch your eye don't buy this.

This telenovela is awesome. All my friends in Germany spent many hours remembering our past thru this historical dramatic novel. One chapter after the other you could feel the passion of those days in tandem with the smell of country. Agave Azul burst my heart with memories, five stars it is not enough. By the way Mr. Mauricio is an outstanding actor but the administrator of the Hacienda that hung himself, should be in hollywood!!

Azul Tequila is a great novela and definately worth viewing. I watch and study novelas as a spanish student and I have seen them all. This one is fantastic quality. Though there are no english subtitles, the dialogue is interesting and clearly spoken for those of intermediate level spanish. The background music is excellent also, well placed and not annoying like so many other poorly edited novelas. This is a full-length novela without missing scenes. If you are going to own only 5 novelas in your library this should probably fill the #1 slot. Highly recommended.
