New details have emerged about Hollywood actor Richard Gere’s visit to Malaga. As SUR previously reported, last Thursday the American was one of the special guests in the musical “Gypsy” directed by Antonio Banderas, who accompanied him on his visit. The actor stayed at the Hotel Miramar with his wife, Spaniard Alejandra Silva, and was later seen eating at the Doña Inés restaurant. The restaurant is owned by Antonio Banderas and the Tercer Acto group, which operates other restaurants in the city. What dishes did Málaga-born Banderas share with his American friend’s party?

The menu included:

-Grilled artichokes on potato cream

-Grilled vegetables

-Assortment of cheeses

-Chorizo ​​criollo

– Grilled pork over Romanescu

– Cannelloni with free range chicken

-T-bone of an aged Wagyu

-A rice pudding dessert, Antonio Banderas’ favorite dessert.

After watching the show “Gypsy,” Richard Gere had nothing but praise for the musical. He congratulated both star Marta Ribera and the rest of the cast. He also celebrated Bandera’s commitment to the CaixaBank Soho Theater, which he described as “beautiful,” according to sources.

Banderas and Gere have been close for years. At an event organized by Elle in November, the star of blockbusters such as “Pretty Woman” and “An Officer and a Gentleman” revealed the origins of their friendship: the actor from Malaga had confessed to him that he had sold a photo of the two of them to the Paparazzi to buy a plane ticket to Los Angeles. Gere joked: “It was the first time he came to Los Angeles… the credit for his international career belongs entirely to me.”
