Álvaro scored his first goal for the side on 11 November, netting the first in Castilla's 2–1 home win against UB Conquense;[1] he also scored doubles in a 4–1 routing of CD Toledo[2] and in a 4–2 win against Atlético Madrid B, both in January 2015.[3] He finished the season as one of the club's top goalscorer with seven goals, along with Burgui and Raúl De Tomás.

On 4 August 2016, Álvaro was loaned to Segunda División side Getafe CF, in a season-long deal.[4] He made his professional debut on 26 August, coming on as a late substitute for Facundo Castillón in a 0–0 home draw against CD Numancia.[5]
