Folks in Spain no longer need to make the trek all the way to Los Angeles to sit amongst the stars! Madrid has opened up their very own version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame which honors twenty five Spanish film stars including Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Antonio Banderas, and directors Pedro Almodovar and Alejandro Amenabar.
Cruz, Bardem, and Almodovar made a special appearance at the inaugural opening of the ‘Street of Stars’ in Madrid, Spain on Monday, June 27th, 2011. Although Antonio could not attend, he did forward a special message for the occasion.
“I am very grateful and honored to receive this star,” Banderas said in a message sent to the film academy.
Penelope is also a recent recipient of the 2,436th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, making her the first Spanish actress to receive the honor.
