Amar es para siempre (lit. 'To Love is Forever') is a long-running Spanish television period soap opera that originally ran on Antena 3 for twelve seasons, from 14 January 2013 to 6 March 2024, with the plot occurring between October 1960 and August 1983. It is the resumption of Televisión Española's Amar en tiempos revueltos.
Amar es para siempre is a period drama resuming the previous series Amar en tiempos revueltos and is setting around the fictional Plaza de los Frutos in Madrid.[1] Several cast members from Amar en tiempos revueltos resumed their characters in the first season of Amar es para siempre. Only four cast members appear in all seasons of both series: Manu Baqueiro as Marcelino, Itziar Miranda as Manolita, José Antonio Sayagués as Pelayo, and Sebastián Fernández as Sebas.
The fiction is initially set in 1960.[2] The eighth season is already set in 1977.[3] The last episodes are set in 1983.
Amar es para siempre is produced by Atresmedia Televisión in collaboration with Diagonal TV.[1] It began airing on 14 January 2013 on Antena 3.[1] It reached the 2,000 episode mark on 1 December 2020, during its ninth season.[1]
It has sparked two spinoffs, #Luimelia and Luimelia 77, both revolving about the love story between Amelia and Luisita.
