Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva have shared information that has filled their followers with joy: they're about to fulfill a family dream they've pursued for years. The media couple, who live between New York and Madrid, have confirmed that they'll soon acquire a house on the Galician coast, specifically in the charming municipality of Oleiros. This is Silva's place of origin and a true spiritual refuge for both of them.
The story of Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva was love at first sight: "When I saw Alejandra, everything was there, I felt it," the actor confessed to El País Semanal. "Our paths were coming together at the right time." Years later, that same feeling resurfaced when his wife, Alejandra Silva, took him to a corner of northern Spain that marked her childhood: Galicia.
"My wife comes from a very special place in Spain... Galicia. When she talks about Galicia, it's as if she comes from the paradise of paradises, and everything good seems to come from there," the actor explained on the program El Objetivo. Since then, Gere hasn't stopped visiting this land, in love with its green landscapes, its tranquility, and its people.
Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva want to acquire a second home in Spain
Although the couple already own a spectacular residence in La Moraleja, in Madrid, where they spend long periods, they've been looking for a second home in Galicia for some time. More specifically, in Oleiros, the municipality with the highest per capita income in the region, and where the Silva family owns a property.
They're not looking for top-level or ostentation, but for calm and disconnection. "We want a place to enjoy weekends, vacations... family life," sources close to the couple have said.

The search has been thorough. While Santa Cruz beach, with its iconic castle, has been one of the points of interest, their attention has focused on the quiet Bastiagueiro beach. "It's very beautiful, very different from the south.
It looks like the place where I grew up because there are many trees and it's very green. I love it," Gere added in one of his interviews.
The announcement of this imminent acquisition has been received with enthusiasm by their admirers, who see in this decision a romantic gesture. It also reaffirms the love and attachment that Alejandra and Richard feel for Galicia. A new chapter is opening for the couple, marked by the peace of the Atlantic, the green of the Galician hills, and the warmth of a home that will very soon become a reality.
