The band then went on the "Señales Tour" across Argentina. In 2003, Erreway released their second album, "Tiempo," and started the "Nuestro Tiempo" tour. They even traveled to Israel for many concerts.
Movies and Other TV Shows
In 2004, Camila filmed her second movie, Erreway: 4 caminos. This movie came with Erreway's last album, "Memoria." After this, the band members started working on their own projects.
