Club career
Álvaro was born in Córdoba, Andalusia, and joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 2010, after starting it out at Córdoba CF. He made his senior debut with the former's C-team on 8 September 2013, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–2 home loss against Getafe CF B for the Segunda División B championship.
Álvaro was definitely promoted to the C's in July 2014, but spent the vast majority of the campaign with the reserves in the third tier. He made his debut for Castilla on 5 October 2014, starting in a 1–0 away win against Barakaldo CF.
Álvaro scored his first goal for the side on 11 November, netting the first in Castilla's 2–1 home win against UB Conquense; he also scored doubles in a 4–1 routing of CD Toledo and in a 4–2 win against Atlético Madrid B, both in January 2015. 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. 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.
