Spanish actress Aitana Sánchez-Gijón and actor Maxi Iglesias have been spotted taking a romantic vacation together in Trujillo during the final weekend of August.
Content creator Javi Hoyos revealed the getaway on social media, sharing an image of the two performers walking with their arms wrapped around each other and holding hands.
The public appearance in the historic Extremaduran town confirms that the couple remain together following the initial disclosure of their romance earlier in the year.
Romance between Velvet co-stars
The relationship between Sánchez-Gijón and Iglesias was first made public in April, when photographs published of the couple spending time together in the street sparked widespread media attention.
The pair originally crossed paths professionally while working on the hit Antena 3 period drama series Velvet. In the show, which starred Paula Echevarría, Sánchez-Gijón portrayed the character of Blanca, while Iglesias played Max.
Velvet, produced by Bambú Producciones, aired on Spanish television and gained international popularity for its depiction of fashion and romance inside a prominent Madrid department store during the mid twentieth century.
Sánchez-Gijón is one of the most acclaimed figures in Spanish cinema and theatre, having served as president of the Spanish Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences. Her international credits include starring alongside Keanu Reeves in A Walk in the Clouds and an award-winning role in Pedro Almodóvar's drama Parallel Mothers.
Iglesias gained national fame as a main cast member on the popular teen drama series Physics or Chemistry before starring in television productions such as Valeria and Inés of My Soul.
Summer fashion basic choices
During their stroll through Trujillo, Sánchez-Gijón chose an effortless bohemian outfit tailored for late August weather.
The actress wore a classic white linen shirt paired with wide-leg black trousers, creating a lightweight ensemble designed to handle late summer heat and humidity.
She layered the linen shirt over a Barbie pink top and completed the attire with comfortable sneakers, making the combination practical for walking through the town.
To carry her belongings, she selected a woven raffia tote bag, known in Spain as a capazo, which added a relaxed summer touch to the look.
Fashion analysts noted that the combination of timeless basic pieces provides a versatile wardrobe option capable of transitioning seamlessly from daytime sightseeing to casual evening outings or early autumn workwear.
Historic location getaway
The couple selected Trujillo for their late summer break as warm temperatures persisted across Spain during the final days of August.
Located in the province of Cáceres within the Extremadura region of western Spain, Trujillo is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture, historic castle, and central plaza, making it a popular destination for weekend retreats.
The getaway provided both actors with a quiet break before returning to work schedules ahead of the autumn season.
