Celia
Celia is a Spanish children's television series created by José Luis Borau in 1992 for the national Spanish public-service channel Televisión Española. It is based on the classic Spanish children's novels of the same name by Elena Fortún, primarily Celia, lo que dice and Celia en el colegio. The books and television series tell the stories of a wild seven-year-old girl named Celia Gálvez de Moltanbán. In addition to focusing on Celia, the show touched lightly on Spanish life in the 1930s, such as the upcoming civil war, a changing nation, and the social issues and ideas at the time. Cristina Cruz Mínguez was cast as the titular character, and the script was adapted by author and screenwriter Carmen Martín Gaite. The creator, Borau, directed and produced the series. Though successful when it originally premiered, Celia was cancelled after six episodes. The sixth and final episode ended with a "to be continued", but the following episode has yet to be released.

Seasons
1. I am Celia
Celia is a seven-year-old girl, belonging to a family of the Madrid bourgeoisie in the early years of the Republic. She is convinced that her mother is really a fairy, and that nothing can happen to her. As for her father, she thinks he is the most handsome and good man in the world. Celia's education is in charge of Miss Nelly, an austere Englishwoman, with whom the girl does not get along. The mother finds no better solution than to beg her childhood nanny, Doña Benita, to come take care of Celia.
2. Mrs. Benita
Celia's father has a brother, Rodrigo, a bachelor and a former officer in the African army, who, upon retiring, returns to Madrid with Maimón, a young Moorish, as an assistant. Celia and Maimón fit together admirably, and between the two of them they hatch the most surprising pranks.
3. Summer!
Summer arrives, Celia's hair is cut, so she feels obliged to do the same with her dolls and her cat, Pirracas. This leads some of the servants to believe that an evil form has taken over their lives.

Aunt Julia advises a convent school that she knows to "civilize" and educate the little girl.
4. At School
The iron discipline of the nuns is a tremendous shock for Celia, but in reality the change does not affect her as much as one might expect: with the girls at school, Celia does not quite get along and instead, she makes friends with two poor altar boys. and his gang. By chance, Celia discovers a method to be punished, the bad thing is that her generosity and companionship lead her to blame herself for the sins of others. Father Restituto, the school chaplain, imposes a penance on her, and Celia is so impressed by his words that she decides to be a saint.
5. Neither Saint nor Martyr
The decision to be a saint (or at least a martyr) takes Celia to crazy extremes, against which Don Restituto, the priest, fights. End of year exams are a disaster. One of the nuns devises a trick so that the mother superior asks, in the presence of the families, and each girl answers what is necessary. But for some reason, the plan is changed, and the girls give improbable answers to the general glee. Celia believes she is obliged, on behalf of the teacher, to explain what happened, which aggravates the situation.
6. See You Later!
Doña Merlucines arrives at the school, a sour and gossipy old woman who soon makes life miserable for Celia. The war between the two records many battles, of different tone and magnitude. Celia has to take refuge in her hiding place in the orchard to feel free. Some puppeteers arrive who say they are on their way to China. Celia can't go with them, but she can in her imagination.
