Antonio Banderas and Carlos Álvarez are perhaps the two most famous men from Malaga right now, and the actor and baritone met for a drink on Saturday night to toast the New Year.

In March 2018 Banderas' series 'Picasso' premieres as he prepares to open his Malaga theatre, and Álvarez has several performances lined up for the year. They both hope that this will be “a great year for Malaga”.
